  Not sure what happened on my last post.. Surprisingly little will need to go to the NHS, less than on a saturday night after the pubs close. Most people who start running end up using fewer NHS services. They drink less, they smoke less, they weigh less and they eat properly. Lets get the town to the point where its the norm to run or cycle and its unusual for someone to sit at home moaning. Key word was weak-need - classic. Hopefully not today - cause I am running!!

  ..... and where are 90% of the "adults" puffing and panting the Brighton marathon the other 364 days of the year? I never spot many when I'm out (health permitting) walking/cycling in all weathers 365 days of the year. And mates of mine taking part today will openly admit that they will being doing what they like doing best the rest of the year: eating, clubbing and pubbing. I do agree it would be nice to get to the point where its the norm to keep fit, instead of as is mostly the norm, sitting at home moaning. Alas, only in UTOPIA are we ever likely to see that happening.

  As someone who PUFFED and PANTED from mile 21, I can reassure Nobleox that for the remainder of the year I am on my bike or running or playing football.
  
  I am a 41 year old male with a moderately active lifestyle. This is my fourth marathon.
  
  The Brighton Marathon is fantastic. Just brilliant. It's well organized, fabulous fun and challenging. Try it, you might just find you enjoy it."
