If you have read my blog over the years you will know that I usually do an alternative Sports Personality of the year.  If you don't read my blog, where you been buster?  You will find the following very biased, almost cliquish if you like:

• Overseas SPOTY(Joint): Shazza - still doing it in the heat of Jordan - gave us the best AP5km ever!  Much missed, never forgotten, much loved. 
• Overseas SPOTY(Joint): Pam of P&C - our favourite Canadian even with Pammy, Avil and Alanis in the list.  Even better than Neil Young and Leonard Cohen.  Ran Celine close but she's running and fighting Alzheimer's for us.  Guts, determination and just brilliant. We love her!
• Overseas SPOTY(Joint): Tina - okay technically not overseas but our favourite Scot and someone who always has a good comment to keep you going.  She gives so much to us all.
• Best running - Marathon (Joint):  Ladies first, Laura beat Paula. She looked more stylish than her and didn't do that thing in the road.  She's a credit to her Mum and an inspiration to us all...
• Best running - Marathon (Joint): Mick - how short was the training for the FLM?  He did it, contributed to the Katie/Peter split and smiled all the way through it - what a guy and another inspiration to us all - plus he knows I like it when he blogs dirty and he's an author ya know...
• Best running - AP5km - Mr AndyB.  Not only does this guy get me there, he gets me round.  He is running like a giant recently and he is always there to run someone in.  Giant!
• Best person to get you to run HL10km/Santa dash with a heart of gold:  Wendy - what can I say?  If you have a race and you need people to do it, then get Wendy on board, she'll boost the numbers and she'll do it in such a way that will make you unable to say no!  She's a beautiful person who has a good heart and cares...
• Comeback Kings (joint): Russell is recovering like a rocket - he'll win the VLM and anything else he does.  MartinH - our Captain, a hero to us all and a one hell of a guy - He's back and he's even better...
• Gone but not Forgotten - TFO & TISM:  We love and miss you guys...
• Best memories across the year and Screen Test Film-maker of the year: Chris.  This guy makes my day, and yours, very special everytime we meet up.  His enthusiasm is massive, his support is always appreciated and he makes a cracking film (although banned in German).  Thanks Chris for you jokes, smiles and the words.  The AP5km we did together will always be one of my best memories - just like last Sunday.  I will never forget how you got me to 5km at the GMR on an emotional day for me and my family.  I was injured but you got me through...

Thanks to you all for making 2009 a top year.  If I've missed you out, don't be offended, my mind is going a bit.  Let's make 2010 the best ever...

Me? Ten miles today.  I was Santa yesterday and I know 2010 is going to be a big one!
