Originally known by the name Alana oler is a thriving rural Market town with history dating back to Roman Times well good morning good morning to all in the Mary Army this morning it is Sunday the 8th of October and I am in olster for my very first 10K just pulled the mmobile up there was a horse next to me I assume another Runner is a very

Rural person but here we are now I’m fascinated to find out a little bit about oler but I haven’t been able to find out too much mom’s number one fan Malcolm Whitman however did a bit of research and apparently oler is a Roman town doesn’t look very Roman to me I

Can’t think to be honest what any Romans would really be doing here now I could not certainly imagine a Roman over in Florence having a wander down the street bumping into a mate you seen quintis seen quintus about recently is he still knock about with uh Romulus quintis nah haven’t seen him in

Years mate over in oler what oler where’s oler I don’t know he’s over in oler now you won’t see him again he’s got his kids into the grammar school big on the PTA well I’m going for an explore and I’ve got to say to be fair this all

Seems very very nice now as I’ve said to you before it’s my first 10K today I was running been running for about 10 years now now there’s a bit of a story behind this actually in around about I think it was maybe early 2014 a good friend of mine my old

Housemate John kellerer came around to my I noticed that he shifted a bit of Timber I didn’t like it I asked him how he’d done it and it was running so one night he offered for me to come out and go running it was the secret now I’ve

Done a little bit of running in my early days done a bit at school lowlevel stuff from bullies mostly all right but I quite fancied it from that point forward I was hooked absolutely hooked now John himself our training went to different ways right John got injured fairly early

On and only did minimal training and we both put ourselves in for the Stratford half marathon I trained like a demon now on race day I don’t know if anyone’s ever seen the film touching the void where you’ve got two Mountaineers best friends who go up a mountain and one

Falls off the cliff Edge and the other one’s holding the rope and the one at the top doesn’t know whether the other one’s still dangling on the rope and he waits for hours and in the end he thinks look I’m going to die up here so he just

Cuts the Rope and that’s the guy actually as it happens fall head first into a crass it was a little bit like that on the strap for Day of the half marathon because we got about a mile into it and John’s legs went right he’d

Hurt his knee I think it was and his legs went I said you all right mate he said no no I can’t carry on he says you go you go I said you sure he went and I’m gone I finished in around about 1 hour 30 something minutes John finishing well

Over 2 hours he was beaten by a man who was carrying a washing machine on his back his wife was very frightened for him actually and I turned up at the Finish quite shamefaced you said didn’t you wait for him I said um no you must please remember MERS right I

Set myself a Target to get to 1,000 subscribers by the end of this year I’m on nearly nearly Too Short this morning 900 subers if I don’t get to 1,000 by the end of the year then I am packing it in there is simply no point in this I have watched

Fellow YouTubers I saw a guy the other day to be fair to him he wasn’t very good he reviewed a sock he got 3,000 views in about 4 hours right sometimes it takes me a week to get to 1,000 get me to 1,000 subs or Mom will

Cease look at this the high bayith has decreed that there is to be a road closure actually now I am all over the shop I don’t know where I am I think I should go down here to the Baptist Church it’s a Baptist Church Lynn no

Won’t be going in there there are people waiting they’re waiting for me to give them my bank details that’s in my head that’s not probably the reality of the situation it’s horrible living like this you know now you and I all know MERS that when I

Go to somewhere to run I like to really get into the community and find out everything I can about the place in which I’m running so the only place to go is the local community Facebook group olster real news which I found my way onto this week I tried to find out a

Little bit more about the people and the town in which I would be running and you know what this was the first post that greeted me the post about the missing man with dementia is a scam good God what sort of place is oler what sort of

People are these well you could take it one of two ways either you’ve got somebody who thought it would be a good crack to pretend that they got a relative who’s got Dimension have gone missing and has had the whole town out looking for them good prank or worse

You’ve got a person who’s pretending to get dementia who is wandering around looking lost so look I couldn’t resist posting myself I’ve announced myself in oler big time they know I’m going to be here so I sent this beauty and got a response like you wouldn’t believe it like this guy should
