Point to Pinnacle - it begins!

Are we getting the band back together?

Absolutely.

My own PtP prep has been as broken and dyspeptic as an early George VI public address. I can't seem to get going. I have the Steyning Stinger in two weeks yet I'm less than inspired and far, far away from form or fitness. C'est la vie I guess. That mountain is looking very very steep and a long ways away, but I've no doubt we'll make it. The vision of a Two Oceans-style team photo at the summit will drive me on, as it is now hauling me from under my delightfully warm duvet to haul my lardy arse through thick, cloying mud up to Blackcap.

Re: running music top 10
My list changes constantly, though Tom Petty's Running Down A Dream, whilst moving up and down like a sentient elevator, is ever-present. My taste in running/ exercise music has been prejudiced by recent spinning sessions. Bridge mixes it up nicely; we've had a Tarantino soundtrack special, non-stop pumping techno & good old rock n roll of late, all excellent tunes to drive one's limbs to greater effort.

Right, time to run.
