15 miles

But now I have arrived home, my body has rebelled.  I ache… I have a cold… I’m feeling somewhat depressed to have left my beloved mountains behind.  I’m sad to have missed out on this weekend’s running shenanigans in and around Lewes.  
 
So there's only one thing for it… It’s time to start planning… there has always got to be an adventure in the pipeline.   Moyleman… Lake District… surfing... touching my toes... On on on…

Post holiday blues & a shitty cold ... sounds grim :-(  

I realise, loony that you are, you're extremely unlikely to take any such advice ... but hope you're finding a bit of time to nurture that rebelling body a little since you've been back. Another view is that it's telling you what it needs!

I hear you about planning the next adventure though, an excellent tack. In fact, exhaustion and planning the next adventure reminds me of a favourite philosophy quote:

"If sleep is the apogee of physical relaxation, boredom is the apogee of mental relaxation. Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience." 
- Walter Benjamin

I've always taken it to mean you need a lull in order to plan the next heist. I've always hated the lulls, but I am learning to tolerate them. Speaking of which, I need to find the next race to enter. I am looking for a 10K, any suggestions?
