Barry Harris the runner

[Shrimpergonzo]

I ran in the Brentwood half marathon yesterday in an effort to get fit for the London Marathon on 18th April.

Quite near the beginning I overheard a conversation behind me and Saturday's game was being discussed.

I dropped back and joined in and ended up running the 1st 5 miles with one Barry Harris who tells me he is a regular here and plays for Shrimperzone FC.

Hope you finished in your target time Barry - I did 2hrs 10mins in the end which was 5 minutes quicker than my target.

Barry Harris talking to a complete stranger? I don't believe it you talk in jest surely?

Yep we all know Harris!

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

I kid you not Dave! I thought he was a decent bloke - but I'm sure there are plenty on here who will rush to tell me otherwise!

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

No he is decent enough, and he likes his art.

Well to be honest the art of conversation that is.

No wonder you beat your target time, were you trying to run away?

He's just spent a few days over here and ran quite a few miles around the Javea area ... I joined him, but on me bike!

He was telling me all about his trip out to see you JS(WS). Are you running marathon training camps out there?!

Barry managed to beat his target of 2 hours.

It would be fun! And get me fit! We went out and did 25km on one of the hottest mornings for a while during his visit ... and it was actually quite enjoyable.
