Hi all , on Saturday i bumped into an old Strider. Bob Jost.
                He tells me he hasnt run since 2005. He did London that
                year but he hasnt run since. He has a chronic back problem,
                 different kinds of treatment havent cleared it up, so he
                 has hung his shoes up. On a lighter note Bob was awarded
                 an MBE in the New Years honours list. He got his award
                 for services to the community, he does a lot of work with
                 disabled people.
                  Last week in New York i sported my STRIDERS jacket all
                  over Manhattan. Top of the Empire State building etc etc
                   it was looking good.
                   See you next week.
                   John
