November Chills

[El Gordo]

First up I met up with Barry, a fellow JSJ-er who had recently taken part in the Reykjavik marathon. Andy, this sounds like one for the calendar. During our easy outward lope he told me all about the fabulous moonscapes of Iceland and the many unique attractions, echoing your enthusiasm for the place. After ten minutes I was mentally googling for next years' sign-up page.

I think Reykjavik is in August. Arguably, a more fascinating one is Myvatn, around the lake, in June This is relatively remote and the landscape is just bizarre. I think they have about 100 entrants a year, about 30 of whom are English women from some club or other. They have a thing about it.

Mind you, post-race beer wouldn't be cheap.
