I see mono-cycles are gaining in popularity - are you tempted?

Not really: balancing on two wheels is challenging enough sometimes!

I trust you're out there running this fine morning I'll look out for the one in the leather shorts brandishing a whip

I'm far too heavy to do anything so silly 
I did the London Marathon in 1983: that was quite enough to sate my distance-running ambitions

Interesting reply - 'far too heavy' is a tad ambiguous - are you referring to the running or to the outfit lol

Put it this way: when Dad & I ran the London Marathon, we read a magazine article beforehand entitled "What kind of Marathon runner are you?", which contained the following snippet of information:
"11-12st: Heavyweight"
As I weighed 13st 12 at the time, (and haven't got any lighter since) I quickly gathered that this wasn't something I was going to excel at.
Besides, I'm sure the leather shorts would chafe a bit

LOL
Well...I'm not a runner either - I do however own a leather jacket - not quite the same as lederhosen
You ran the London Marathon??? Impressive!
What do you think about the mortality rate this year? Ages ranged from 28 to 52 - scary.

One of those things, I think: adding it up, you can expect about 3 people in any given 50,000 to die on any given day; it looks like the warming up of the day caught a few people's (lack of) preparation out, although I didn't think it was that warm when I went out in the afternoon...
The best comment on the Marathon was by my rowing coach at the time:
"I understand what got you to the finish line; what I don't understand is what got you to the start line!"

I was following a cyclist yesterday (in my car) - the word chafing sprang to mind

LadyChatterly Posted Sep 21, 2005
He was was pedalling furiously and wearing those lycra shorts lol

Al Johnston Posted Sep 22, 2005
Actually, one of the things that lycra shorts are good at is not chafing
