Every time I drive through Llanishen/Lisvaine/Roath, I see a blonde, slim lady walking. Coming home from the football last night I saw her walking around the lake and around 12 today I saw her walking in Llanishen.
Anyone know her? I love walking but this lady is on a different planet, she must walk hundreds of miles a week.
Are we talking a sort of walk-jog-and does she wear a yellow fluorescent rain jacket-and we're talking very slim, in an unhealthy way.Quote:

When I see her, I always think she’s a good advert for a reason not to exercise.
Yes that’s her.Quote:

You're right, she really doesn't look well. Hope she stops running for a bit and gets some help.
For all we know she could have an eating disorder or mental health problem or both or just maybe one of these endurance types ..
Anyway i'm sure she could stand us in a line and be worried how unfit looking or obese some posters are and hopes we get help :hehe:
Haha true.Quote:

Possibly she's certainly determined to keep going.Quote:

Looks as though she’s ready to drop all the time
I work in Roath and see her regularly. She looks totally emaciated and I think she must have a serious condition, either mental or physical. Very sad.Quote:

A qualified hospital doctor from a wealthy family who lost his marbles - according to rumour - when he fatally made a mistake with a poor child. You can read up on him in Google plus a short film was made of his life in 2004.
In Taunton we have a young man with an Afro hairdo who scoots around topless on his skateboard even in deepest winter.
That bloke who used to ride around Fairwater in his vest and underpants was a case for the sheriff. Anyone else remember him?
He used to live in South Luton Place, until they moved him to Fairwater.Quote:

John Reynolds? Big City fan, who helped pay for Phil Brignull. Before lockdown used to see him ride his bike on match day down Broad Street. Haven’t seen him in a while.Quote:

its a fairly common thing for people with eating disorders ( who get out of treatment places ) to eat what they need to, but they then throw themselves massively into fitness, they keep a diary of the food they eat which keeps them out of " treatment " but they burn it all of with exerciseQuote:

He would often take off his shirt and be wearing a white vest underneath.
He stood out because he would make a breathing sound similar to a steam train and would always be bathed in sweat.
I never saw him walking, always running as if he had to be somewhere urgently.
Then in later years, I saw him wearing a leg caliper, which although must have seriously hindered his ability to run, still didn't stop him.
Pretty sure she carries water bottles?Quote:

I think he lived in some supported accommodation, so was obviously getting some help, but it can be upsetting to see people with obvious mental issues.
I saw 'flowers' then and immediately thought Mike's Granada.
That is a blast from the past.
