To be honest Dan, I didn't re-read it until you said that. That final line gave me rather mixed emotions: 

"I’d like to think that 10 years from now I’ll be writing an entry describing the race (and PB) I did to mark my sixtieth, and I hope that some of the good friends I’ve made through this site will still be around too."

Not just because I'm so far off that mark (with no prospect whatever of any PBs) but I was reminded by the report that Moyleman did me the honour of attending. It was the first time we met, and I remember this sinewy hill runner being rather disgusted by how pathetic this desolate plod around a pancake-flat man-made lake was, and in particular, how pathetic it was that I had no greater ambition than to run 10K in an hour.
