Anyway, you’ll probably see me in this car when your up in your Heiland Gaff. Do you still have you’re usual fried breakfast at Brodie or has the Doctor advised you to steer clear?
No, my body is a temple. I started running this time last year after I lost my brother in Feb 17, have now done 3 x 10k races and have one at the end of this month. Carrying a House of Brodie or two around is no longer an option.
Gratuitous pic from Cardiff Bay 10k earlier in the year. Peeps of a nervous disposition look away now.

She lurks D4-side but hadn’t realised I pop in here every now and again to annoy peeps/enlighten peeps/gain enlightenment/get annoyed by peeps (delete as appropriate).
Yes, sorry to hear about your brother, you were very close. Things like that are very difficult to live with and time doesn’t dull the pain.
Full marks for the exercise mid you.
I’d like to say I should follow your example, but with 3 kids I get all my exercise. At least I am loosing one to Uni next year - for 5 years, two to go.
Agreed re the pain but find time does help. I can at least think about it now.
Running is a great way to get away from it all. Just you, the road, weather and barking dogs. Or in my case mostly the treadmill. A year ago I couldn’t run for a bus (even though I thought I was reasonably fit), now I can easily do 10k in about 70 minutes without stopping or feeling like I need to collapse. Over the year I’ve run the equiv from Edinburgh to London. Just got to work on my speed a little bit before I book my place to Tokyo in a couple of years.
What, u washed her, she’s only weeks old? Don’t you know that’s what the annual service is for. Mine gets washed once a year whether she needs it or not.
Mind you, with this diesel dilution malarkie these D5s are going to be seriously over washed, positively worn out cleanliness wise.
Hardly. I'll do about 16k km a year so I reckon an oil service in between the annual services. Which is what the D4 got in its first few years as well. That means 2 washes a year from a service, on top of that every week after the weekend I take it off road which is 3 or 4 times a year. And before you ask, the wash is a week after so people in the city see that my car gets used as it should.
