3 Steps Back and 1 step forward

Hi Andy

Ahh...you remember me! When will you get a book published eh? Your writing is just superb. And my wife loves it too...she is not a runner, loves books and used to work in publishing. So there...a qualified lit critic enjoys your writing too.

Well, what can I say..thanks SO much for the encouragement. I really take heart from what you said. Thats a great idea re: a race. But at present I feel so far off doing a 10k never mind a half marathon. Plus I really think I need to lose a stone or so first. Ah...I know...excuses, excuses. Maybe I will do the Reading race after all. Let me think about it..

I don't know about you but my body is such that if I stop running and dieting for a while I seriously pay the price. That is why I am almost back to square one. Then again, I got to thinking, before I ever started running I couldn't even run for 15mins. Even now, lapsed runner, I can still do 35mins. So...maybe it isnt back to square one after all. I just need to get going again.

Thanks again, I will be sure to keep checking in here to let you know how it goes. I hope you keep hearing from me. That means I am still trying!

Cheers
Robert
