RE: January 2012
Opened my account with a torrid flog along the Jog Shop New Year's Day 5 miler. After two days on the ale, wrapped up just before 2 o'clock this morning in the company of stone-age rockers The Contenders in the warm bosom of the Lewes Con Club, I almost missed the start. The frantic dash from my car to the starting point at Black Rock all but finished me off. My tardy arrival was greeted with good-natured jeers and cries of 'hurry up' from the modest assembly, around thirty hardy souls including Simon Ho, Jason, Paul the Goat and Austin Powers. Lycra Tony and Sam Lambourne waited patiently as I tried to pin my thumbs to my vest through my hurridly affixed race number.

Our out lap took us along the undercliff, splashing through chalky puddles whilst dodging wobbly toddlers learning to ride their new christmas bikes, before climbing up onto the cliff tops at Rottingdean. The return slog, into a buffeting headwind over slippery mud trails, took a monumental effort. I was pleased to finish without troubling the paramedics.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
