December Doldrums
A heavy, heavy lurch across sticky, sodden hills at dawn's early light.
Five unrelenting miles in a drayhorse stylee, the mud seeming to leap up and grab my legs like a Tony Hart claymation. My expectations, like the unwanted yet wholly deserved extra layer on my waistline, were pretty low; get through it without stopping. I reached that goal, albeit a close-run thing on the upper slopes of Wicker Man Hill and Blackcap as a spiteful wind whipped out of the west to sting my face.

I didn't time it - no use getting too depressed. This was a return to the hills and nothing more. 'More' is certainly on the menu, to be somehowy woven with the Mayfield Golfing Society AGM on Friday (spare liver on standby) and a horribly demanding 20k Sunday Snake encounter.

Oh how we must pay for our sins . . . Sad

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
