Warming up with a random guy tonight who has an age cat national record and is only running 2 years after a 30 year break. I was saying he must have been handy back in the day. He ran a 14:22 5k. Rave: meeting random people at races. Met a guy with a age cat world record one day, not that he said it but I knew who he was once he told me what distance he ran.

That love affair was started well before I/We started posting here!

I've been cycling/running into & out of work along the Grand Canal all year & have been severely hassled by an aggressive swan who has been guarding a nest - have had to go around on occasion it was so bad. All worth it this morning to see this (picture not the best as he was still protective)

It's a small thing but I realised yesterday that since the firmware upgrade a year or two ago not only has my garmin stopped going mental every time a bead of sweat hits it, it can also handle torrential rain as well.

It was certainly doing it's magic a few hours ago and will send them back to sleep if they are starting to stir.

My posting at 4am shows that the magic is not 100% effective though.

If nothing else it sends me to sleep.

I'm saving myself for the Rock n' Roll half in August. My first ever half marathon.

Well done on the 'Up' PB opus.
Are you gonna give us some sort of report?
Presume you'll have to go for a 'Down' PB next year.

I did it! Solo dinghy sailing. Delighted, wetsuit not too frightening either.

No chance. Picture mental hair and actually a lot less screaming and cursing than anticipated by myself and instructor.

Christopher McDougall. His stories are somewhat fantastical, but he really does write them well. Started Natural Born Heroes last night and was hooked immediately. Woke up at 6 to read some more this morning and was somewhat p1ssed off that I had to leave it to come to work.
