stuck in the middle

The blasted weather forecast seems to have gotten worse since last we spoke. It’s preying on my mind, I tell you.
Luckily, I managed a long run this morning. As promised I rose before the dawn and choofed off towards work. Two hours and 27km later I arrived, dripping but otherwise okay, on the doorstep at [...]

something more challenging

As promised yesterday, a more challenging run was had this morning. I missed last weekend’s long run, owing to having a head full of cotton wool, so I did it today instead.

I promise next week, that even if [...]
