In reply to mbh:
There's a great story in 'Running with the Kenyans' when the writer calls the wrong number in the phone book: 'Are you X the 2:06 marathoner?' (I forget the exact detail). And the reply comes: 'No sorry I'm Y, 2:13, I drive a taxi.'
Amazing on so many levels, that you can call the wrong person with the same name and they not only have a superb marathon time, but answer in a matter of fact, 'yeah, I'm and also ran' type way!
