August 2015

Zooooom!! Life is screaming past at the speed of light.
So fast, I barely have time to report a lovely wet pre-breakfast slog to Blackcap. More of those lovely 'oh, I'm almost at the top of this hill, and there I was thinking about Princess Leia in Return Of The Jedi' moments.

I'm nor perving. OK, I am, a bit. I've been searching for iconic female images for a series of Lewes Ladies match posters. The season kicks off on Sunday - home to Plymouth Argyle - and we're looking to bolster our small but fanatical home support. This week's poster features new signing Mona. She's not exactly a laugh a minute, but in transfer terms she is priceless. Boom boom.  Anyway, with a new Star Wars film imminent I was thinking 'Princess Leia in a Rooks shirt' and sort of drifted off from there. Ahem.

Some stats. August is 11 days old.
I've bagged 42.6 kilometres, just a hair over marathon distance in 11 days at 2.42 miles per day.
The per diem rate is climbing, a bit like me; slowly, inexorably. This is a good thing.

In slightly less welcome news I fly to Panama on the 9th of October, two days before what I am assured will be the last ever Jog Shop Jog. I have more reason than usual to curse this turn of events. One, CharlieCat of this parish wants to flog me around that course before leaving me in a cloud of dust; two, the event will be dedicated to Chris Moyle's late friend, Kader. Not for the first time my traveling working life denies me a poignant personal moment. C'est la vie.
