The Road To Richmond - 2018

[marathondan]

Just back from a cracker. 6 miles tempo to try and reinvigorate things. The post-sunset sky is an impossible wash from blue to red. A lone light hangs in the sky - maybe Sirius, maybe Venus. Either way, the scope of the vista before me is unfathomable. Aluminium tubes pass overhead. Bunnies scatter to the hedgerows as my overweight footsteps approach. The decade-old guitar scrapings of obscure Canadian punks are now on a sliver of silicon on my waistband, and in my ears. By some complex chain of events, this will hopefully somehow help sick children. I start to make a mental note of all these things. As I reach the corner of the field and look back the way I've come, I see that all this time, a huge orange moon has been peering over my shoulder, just above the treeline. I swear under my breath and grin like a loon.

Track du soir below - came on towards the end, turned out to absolutely spot on BPM. The sentiment, also.
