Feb-bluary 2012
I kicked off a new month with a hilly four miler in a bone-chilling wind tearing in across icy, scoured hills. After a slow start my legs responded, pushing me along at a decent clip. The best part of running a road race is getting back to the downs. The gentle embrace of crisp yet yielding turf feels like a loved one's warm embrace, welcome and welcoming at once.

This is a building month. January produced some decent long runs, a fair effort in Almeria and a temporary plunge off the high, rickety wagon. With limited travel plans and the prospect of some fabulous cold mornings it's all about steady mileage, tougher long runs and controlled shedding of unsightly fat.

Track du jour the incomporable, original ACDC, Down Payment Blues.
Turn it UP.


The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
