No worries, MLCM. I said farewell to my own mountain -- the Dublin marathon -- without climbing it.

It happens.

I suppose the important thing is not to dwell on the runs that never were but get focused on what's to come, and that's what we seem to be doing. I'm having annoying injury setbacks, but am still looking forward to the winter months ahead. Over here, it's a great time to run.

Good luck in the new gaff. Running and water go very well together.

No idea what CBD means. I've done a Google search, and find thousands of references to it as in "We were lucky enough to stay near the CBD", but no one actually says what it bloody means.

Curry and Beer District?
