Sunday 5th February 2017


People. Every one of those races, and this one, has been illuminated by the company of wonderful people. A mixed bag; locals, the far-flung, artists and artisans, some I've known for decades, others I've only just met. MLCMMan writes about the company of runners, and he's right. It doesn't matter a jot if you're Haile Gebrselassie (I raced him here, you know. He won, by any number of streets) or highly underprepared, if it's in you, you're my kind of people. I was surrounded by them; from the creator of this fine forum to my Moyleman comrades, to the Brighton posse and friends from as far away as Sydney and Vancouver. Bliss.

Glad to see you did what I told you and just f*cking wrote it and clicked send ;-)

A beautiful account and a wonderful sentiment about the people being important. It is always the people that make a thing worth holding on to and yet I forget it, often. Cheers for a timely reminder. 

I have another thing to say thanks about - I shall take my own, drunken, advice about writing and I promise myself to simply write here. Just as it comes, discovering what I'm on about as it pours out. I've not allowed myself to do that for a long time and I miss it. I've half written an Almeria brain dump, will finish now I have an account.
