November 2015
Trees explode in colour
Yellow! Red! Gold!
Oooh, aaaah,
Cantona
Mud-caked leaves lie
Nature's cartridges, spent
Trampled underfoot
We run on, on
November rolls in
Grey clouds on her shoulders
A musty old stole
Winter is coming
An expectedly tardy start to the month so far.
CWD Friends For Life pretty much wiped out any running options, though I was up on my toes for pretty much five days straight. We're launching a UK Charity in 2016 and I've agreed to be a trustee. There's no doubt I'm on the masochistic end of the spectrum.
Then Bonfire came along. Revelry, burning things, hosting overseas colleagues after FFL, burning things, tasting a variety of regional ales, burning things. This week saw a return to normality and to the hills. The body feels pretty good, if still slightly mishapen. The foulness that caused me to miss my rendezvous with Miss Q and the Fat One seems to be lurking under the skin. I'll temp it out with a run or two.
More base work, standard stuff, 3 to 5 klicks in the morning with plenty of effort being thrown in on these short, sharp sojourns. Next up it's Hamburg for Intermodal, closely followed by a return to Vancouver for the World Diabetes Conference. The runners are in the suitcase.
On, on.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph

I didn't understand much of that, but it sounds groovy. Yay, man. Nice one, I like it a lot.
What?

"The runners are in the suitcase".
Perhaps he has retired them to the attic?

Nope... the man is alive and well (if you can call the vision I saw this morning "well"). We've been running... I took him out for some hill reps. I believe he's still in a ditch trying to call a taxi.
But this is outrageous ... the man is running but not writing? Is he not well? Is the Penguin running amok, not in Gotham, but in Lewes??

RE: November 2015
There is literally no time to write.
I'll write about it, when I get time.
Just hopping a train to Vancouver, more soon.
