Four your eyes only !!

Like Bond "The Fox" is back seeking more excitement & danger on the banks of Windermere. He will do battle with Ice Cream mountain,Otter Bridge & the evil driveway !!

Assisted by Aly Knowles as M (the big boss lady - although of course much younger & hotter than Judi Dench ) Mac Knowles as Q - the man with all the gadgets (well the timing chips & a lap top !!) & Sheilagh as Miss Moneypenny

Sally Ford,Diane Shaw,Toks & Kaz step in to replace Honor Blackman,Maud Adams,Halle Berry & Ursula Andress as the glamourous Fox girls assisting in the pursuit of no.4.

My vehicle of choice a pair of Asics Gel Nimbus as the DB5 is in for it's MOT

So what can we expect from the latest installment ? Who will replace Andy Nice as "The man with the golden run" ? who wll step into the shoes of Ben Audsley as the ever helpful Felix Leiter ?

Can the fox withstand the vicious pumelling at the hands of Nicola,Lucy,Shonelle & the "evil" big G ?

Can he survive being lowered into freezing waters of sharks & crocodiles ?* (warning the ice bath may not contain Sharks & Crocodiles ?!!)

All these questions & more to be answered in the next thrilling istallment coming soon, but one thing for sure on day 10 the fox will be surrounded by beautiful women (from body Rehab) enjoying an ice cold bottle of Corona hopefully not shaken or stirred

Diamonds are forever, but slate is great.

Can i play with Madness ?

Actually asking myself that very question & not sure I can ?

I have battled through 3 editions of the Bratahy 10 in 10 (10 marathons in 10 days) & have had 26 fantastic days in the Lake District meeting some amazing people & life long friends along the way.

The problem I have is those final 4 days in May of this year, I have been offered a place for the 2012 edition of the 10 in 10, bt the problem is not sure I still have the mental capacity to get it done ?

When I think back, I feel proud of myself for battling through that final 4 days but the thought of putting myself through it again frankly scares me to death, why would I want to hammer my body like that again, what do I have to prove - nothing to myself that's for sure.

I'm enjoying my running at the moment but I'm not running marathons these days, in the past 5 days I have really enjoyed 2 x 5km races & winning my clubs 3.5 mile handicap in a PB time on Thursday. The thought of running 26.2 miles in such warm weather really does not appeal.

For alot of folks the 10 in 10 is a once in a lifetime event & if my first one had gone the way of my third one that would have been true for me too & I'm happy that I've got round 3 times but think now is the time to say goodbye to such a fantastic event ?

The problem I have is the the quest for history, I've never really achieved anything substantial running wise & whilst not one to go chasing records (I certainly can't from a time perspective - a 3.09 marathon PB puts me somewhere in the middle of the pack I would guess ?) only one person has ever completed 4 in a row & I would still like to add my name to a very exclusive list containing the name of just one person "The Godfather" - "Sir" Steve Edwards.

I really am torn at this moment, If I had to make a decision at this moment in time I would wish the other 18 well on their epic challenge & bid a fantastic event farewell.

I don't want to rush a decision & have to say whilst sad to see Rosemary have to pull out Matt "Emdee" Dunn's elevation into the team did give me a lift a couple of days back.

This madness is killing me mentally :(
