What a horrendous run/walk I had last night. Never mind these horrendous moments are best forgotten. Have I used the word "Horrendous" yet? Oh well I had better get Horrendous out of the way. In spite of the non stop verbal abuse and aggression that this peasant receives Horrendous is the new Race Leader with his 8th position yesterday.Prince Paul was first across the line - well he is a member of Andy's team - followed by this time I insist on having my T-shirt Michael and Tearaway Trevor (who said he was on crutches a few weeks ago?). They were followed home by Shifting Stuart, Walker the Wise - in the fastest time of the day 18.31, Tenacious Tom and newcomer Ambitious Andrew. Ambling Andy was 9th and Killer Ken in 10th.

For those who are still reading and are also clever at maths you have to guess which horrendous position I have omitted from the top ten!!

The other members of the human race were lead in by Madame Prince in 15th place, Karefree Kate 34th and Trainee Tearaway 35th. In the Wake of Walker the Wise (after Leeds!!) were Newton the Newcomer 18.47, Bard Brannon 18.57 and Waddling Wallett 19.46.

At this juncture once again sincere thanks to Start Fitness for supplying T-shirts for this season's GP and please remember ALL Competitors that you are welcome at Start Fitness shops provided that you deny any knowledge of The Peasant.

Once again chez les autres gens Hustling Heather was fastest 24.10, followed by Rachel the Roarer 24.53, Countess 25.17 and Nattering Nina 25.40.

In the team event Fearless Iain's team now has a 3 point advantage over the Darling Caterers and Horror of Horrors Horrendous' team are a further point behind.

To finish this narrative a request to NSP members. We need volunteers to fetch and carry the finishing funnel apparatus for GPs 3 to 7. NIL volunteers then it may have to be the end of the GPs as you will realise that with about 100 runners finishing fairly close together on a main road near a 'bus stop there could be safety problems if tired exhausted athletes and Horrendous are allowed to spread out on to the road. Many thanks to Jaunty Jonathon for doing this task yesterday - all help is much appreciated.

Did any one notice who finished 17th yesterday. Watch your back H>
