April

[Sweder]

A brief apology. Work is in ass-kicking mode, I rolled my ankle on the Twitten run 8 days ago - did it at the top of the first ascent, ran the next eleven (standard). My ligaments did not turn into soft noodles but they are sore. I've also (labours of love) been helping P with her dissertation (due in next week) and working on Kelly's Testimonial (tomorrow night) special edition programme (325 appearances, 13 years as LLFC captain). I've combined these lame-arse excuses to concoct one big flabby one, which, given the state of my neglected glutes, is probably fair enough.

I'll be in the clutches of work/ life until mid May, Abu Dhabi (2 days) and Geneva (10 long days) offering little if any chance to run. On a more positive note, this weekend I watched Phoebe perform at the Victoria and Albert museum, cheered on 182 JDRF runners for 9 hours before shacking up with Mr Gilmour at the Albert Hall (again) for a Teenage Cancer Trust gig. It's not all doom and gloom.

See you soon.
