[El Gordo]

Looks like no-one wants to speak about The Post so I'll say this; good on you for taking a bold (and what seems to me a brave) decision. Like you I hope it's the right one; certainly struggling against a growing catalogue of obstacles can't be a lot of fun. I like the squash analogy; it's one I'll be keeping in mind as I look at my own future challenges.

Oh, not bold or brave at all. Just confronting the reality of the situation. It's time to break out of the cycle I'm in. I need to set the right goals, get properly fitter, then take it from there. If this means sticking to 10Ks, then so be it. If it means I stop running and do something else entirely, well that's OK too. What worked for me 3, 4, 5 year ago isn't working for me now, so I either try to stay on this losing horse or find a better one!

I wouldn't normally care too much but I do think this groove I'm in is stopping me from doing other things, so it just seems sensible to take stock and make an adjustment now.
