2016 - January

[Sweder]

A couple of things happened today.
First up, I signed up with Lewes AC, my first 3D running club. There's not much behind it, other than to take advantage of their enjoyable and inclusive midweek sessions and help advance local Moyleman connections. Quite a few Lewes AC regulars have signed up for our March Madness, others have pledged marshalling services.

Secondly, I slipped out with some of Charliecat's new friends for some nocturnal speed work. Well, whilst the cat's away, and all that ... 6 miles, including some tough sprints through the estates on the western edge of town. We passed the Cat's house on the way. I gave him a wave, but later learned he was jetting home from foreign lands (Scotland).

I bumped into Andrea and Tall Simon, fellow veterans of the Almeria Half. They're club regulars, so I'll be seeing a bit more of them in the weeks ahead. As Dan will no doubt observe, this is yet more hard-top pounding. In fact, pretty much every running step since the end of November has been on man-made surfaces. So long as the Downs remain a treacherous sludgefest, that will continue.
