Ethos- thanks for the link ive also just bought the book and will hopefully give it a read tomorrow. Inspirational stuff with the 469 days. I remember when running was my life and I didnt need booze, had 2.5 years sober a few years ago when I first started running. Hopefully I can get back to it now. You never know I could even be in good enough shape for an autumn marathon.
Dab -i'll check out the Tim Noaks book too, anything currently that can get my inspirational juices flowing has got to be a good thing.
