In reply to AnnaTheApple. Tell me about it, there are some right idiots in Birmingham. I’m gradually ruling out foods I can’t eat the evening before I run. I added chicken fried rice to the list this week. I’m rapidly running out of ‘safe’ food options.

In reply to cat h bradley. Thanks Cat. I really enjoy writing my rants and raves posts so I’m pleased I usually manage to make you laugh or smile. I’ve just discovered a new rave. I keep writing race instead of rave.

In reply to Maria @ Maria Runs.

I’m amazed the bears in the centre of Sutton Coldfield have survived the summer. They’ll all disappear soon, I need to track down a few more next time I’m in Birmingham.
I had a run in with a chugger last week when I was running to the train station. I understand that it’s a rubbish job, but surely it’s obvious that trying to stop people who are in a hurry isn’t going to end in new donors.
Your comments and interaction on Strava always helps. I’ve given up with my friends and family, they just don’t understand why I run.

Ah that’s awful about the bears 🙁 People can be right idiots!
I once had a curry the night before a marathon. Was not ideal!!

Always a big fan of your rants and raves–usually can find something to make me smile or laugh :).

Those bears are brilliant- what a shame some of them are being ruined by idiots though.
If I go to St Albans I have to keep my head down as they have lots of those charity people there- luckily where I live is a bit smaller so the town doesn’t tend to get them. It is horrible though as they put people in an awkward position and some people feel compelled to sign up to donate monthly.
Ah, the running community is great! 🙂 I think I’d not long read your blog before seeing that you did the 55 mins, so I am glad the comment helped. You are right, no-one else cares about running so it’s great that there is somewhere to post these things where the only people reading are people who understand and care too.
