October

[Sweder]

I sense a stirring of forumites this weekend; whisps of activity, an audible steeling of resolve. Perhaps the impending arrival of Autumn with her runner-friendly conditions has something to do with it.

For me, September has been all about work and ended in illness. My customary end-of-summer cold has slipped easily into a mild chest infection which lingers as I write. The product of childhood bronchitis, my feeble chest has cost me, in consecutive years, marathons in Dublin and New York and, this year, any chance of the Jog Shop Jog.

In the spirit of Andy and BB, who have renewed their running vows this week, I shall ease back into things, starting next week.

This weekend is all about R&R -
Rest & Reccuperation as opposed to Rack & Ruin.
