Update

[Tim]

Good to see you back Andy. I was a tad worried that you'd hung up your running shoes but as I've recently found, sometimes you do need a little time out to get a bit of perspective on things.

A combination of holiday and post WHW race injuries has kept my mileage way down and my speed has suffered greatly as a consequence. Despite that, I really enjoyed two races that I did recently. Timewise I was nowhere but I was able to take a mental "back seat" so to speak in both of them and just enjoy the running.

Of course I would like to run faster as running fast is fun, but it's not the most important thing. Enjoying the run in good company is important too.

As fate would have it, when I'm at my unfittest for absolutely ages, I've committed myself to the Ben Nevis race this weekend (that bl**dy Richard Askwith has a lot to answer for). ;-)

Anyway, I hope you rediscover the joy of running again.
