[Sweder]

Sweder, you can always run the course on your own when you get back. A kind of personal pilgrimage.

Do post links to the posters when they appear. There have been a few classics in the past. Not sure how Carrie would feel about the image rights, but as a celebrity endorsement it would be quite a coup.

Star Trek's Lt Uhura would be a cracker. Others include Attack Of The 50FT Woman, Lara Croft, Katniss (Hunger Games), Minnie The Minx, Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast poster) Ripley (Alien) ' At The Pan Siro, No-One Can Hear You Scream' ... ideas are forming. They all need to be Rooked to some extent, some subtly, others less so.

The Ladies started well, taking on Plymouth Argyle in the season opener. I could only cover the first, goal-less 45. Writing the match report was ... interesting. 

Just been out for a post-work 12-miler with Mr Le Chat. The man is in good form, claiming lardiness after a fortnight in Italy and France. He looked pretty spritely as he left me for dead up a few of the climbs. We hit the first half of the Moyleman, bagging 428 metres of climb in a whisker over two hours. I love running at dusk. I just wish my legs were a little more match-fit. They feel like they're about to curl up around my lug-holes any minute.
