Tim, good to hear from you. I'm still a bit annoyed with myself about flunking Loch Ness, so I'm being slightly hesitant about announcing anything at the moment. I need to stack up a couple of short races - probably 10K - for November or December, just to get moving again, and I'll aim to do the Cliveden (Berkshire) race just after Christmas. Not long - about 6 miles but hilly and icy. Good fun.
Next year I definitely need to line up a marathon but I'm not yet sure which. Sweder is going for Paris, and I'm tempted to join him so that I can offer support to the people we know doing the FLM a week later - safe in the knowledge that the strain is behind me. But I might apply for London just for the hell of it. Unlikely to get in though.
Apart from that, I don't know. It would be nice to be working towards one of your sort of races but I don't know if I'll be up to it. At least you don't have to book them a long way in advance.
How about you? More mega-torture races I presume? Go on, shock us...
