Since Pat kind of tagged me on this, here goes…
- I started working retail at the age of 14 (under the table as it contravened certain British child labor laws, ok all of them!).
- I have no middle name… some people think that’s strange.
- One of the reasons I’m a vegetarian is thanks to a summer job working in a sausage factory…
- I once had a bicycle disintegrate on me as I was riding it, thanks to the delayed reaction of WD40 on rust…
- In my final year of college, I lived over a newsagents and next door to a strip club - “The Piper Club”.
- My first job in the US was selling chocolates and ice cream in a strip mall.
- I became a naturalized US citizen the week after 9/11.
- I’m running in the Philly 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks, and the Marine Corps Marathon in 2 months, they will both be my first races at those distances. Somehow I’m also fitting the new soccer season in there as well (starting Sept. 8th)…

Hey Simon,
Thanks for participating - it’s always nice to gain a little insight into other bloggers! Good luck on the races. Sounds like it’s a good thing it’s not a bike race!
Pat
