I'm passionate about running although I was older than Eliud is now when I started having given up smoking. Actually, I won a race myself today, in M70 category if that means anything to anybody. There aren't too many challengers. Today there was only one other! The most I've run against is 29, but I didn't win that one. I only managed 3rd. <br />So two big wins in one weekend Eliud and Gwil. Can't be bad can it, Pat?
