Tis The Season

"dismal performance"?

Hmm, well... 10 miles in 1:31 sounds like 9 minute miles to me. Ten miles at that pace in a tempest, slithering across a series of steep, muddy hills, strikes me as pretty impressive. Some of us would die for a performance like that. Or should I say, die after a performance like that?

Believe me it was an ugly showing Andy. These things are relative, I know. Two weeks ago I had a blinding run keeping up with some serious runners (even though they were taking it easy).

This was something else; I felt wretched out there, and that afterglow has yet to really catch fire. I can detect the symptoms of a cold though, so maybe there was something lurking beneath the surface, just next to the residual Duvel and Rioja.

Sounds like you secretly had a muddy good time Nice one!

You're a perceptive one BB - part of me loved it.
It's easier to list the parts that didn't though!
