Well done, Adrian

ps I never noticed the strong resemblance to Tuffers before looking at that photo...

Ditch the long socks as well, too much weight.

"Long socks?" I thought those were prosthetic legs!!! That's why I donated to the cause, I felt sorry for Adrian. Who wears long socks to a race?

Congratulations on that Adrian and such a great cause. I'll be doing the 24 hr run thingie in September, I', gonna be in the " Survivors" team at our local event (its a national thing).


A year ago today I was diagnosed with cancer, it was my 49th birthday, today I'm 50. The best birthday I've had since i was a wee kid and happy with jelly and ice cream.

Keep you head up high Nanker. Lots of people are beating cancer these days, you should be one of 'em.

Compression socks, perhaps? They're becoming something of a fad in running these days.

I think Paula Radcliffe wears them. Maybe Adrian was trying to keep up with her?

Compression socks for sure.

They're not a fad, as such.
They're a godsend.
They prevent calf muscle vibration - which can prevent injury and alleviate
cramp. They also acclerate recovery after a long run.
Couldn't do without them.

.....still not prosthetic legs?

no Douglas Bader, i'm not

I had to wear those socks when i was laid up for 3 months.

As for the cancer, it was the complications with the surgery that nearly saw me off in the end.

Apologies adrian i did not realise the medical side of it. Just shows you get out of the loop when i had to give up that particular sporting activity.
