Thanks everyone, all much appreciated, to be sure
And quite honestly, it's largely due to the enthusiasm and encouragement to be found in the RC pages that I got there at all.

It's funny, but one of the guys at work who ran the same race said much the same thing to me this afternoon. In fact he made me virtually promise to have a crack at running the whole thing next year. So now I'm committed to preparing for two races: the 2007 Point to Pinnacle, and the 2008 Almeria Half!
But certainly success breeds success, and I have been thinking about what to aim for next, because I'm like Andy - without some distant goal to aim for I'm giving up a big advantage to the sloth and anti-motivation monster.
So I have determined to start a programme of combined race walk / run training to build on my newly acquired leg strength and see just what I am capable of run-wise. Things are going swimmingly just now, so I'll introduce some more running and see how we go. With the evil but lovely Rebecca (physio) and Mr.Pain (the podiatrist) to assist, we'll see just what can be done.
But first I'm off for a week in Adelaide. I'll try and get some training in while I'm there, but
gosh I just realised it so
happens that it coincides with the 2nd cricket test there. How amazing is that!
Now what can be better than a nice hot summer with an Ashes cricket series and all that beer that has to be drunk and all those barbecues that have to be cooked (well we have to keep the economy afloat somehow, don't we Hortense)?
Having a decent race under one's belt makes it just that much sweeter, too
My glass is empty - I'd better go.
