RE: Diary of a middle aged runner
Wow, that's tough luck about the fires and the race, BB. In one of those stop-and-make-you-think moments of synchronicity, last Friday I met Turia Pitt, an ultra marathoner quite famous here for being caught and horribly burned in a wildfire during a 2011 ultra event that wasn't cancelled when clearly it should have been.

This is what she looks like now, and this is why race directors (and runners!) need to be careful...

She's a lovely person by the way, and very inspiring. And of course, courageous.
Run. Just run.
