October is a fine and dangerous season

I know what you mean CC5.

It's a bugger having to rip up your plans and it can feel like defeat.

But they all come around again. And in between now and then there are plenty of other things to take aim at.

I think the cyclical and seasonal nature of 'the running year' is what I have grown to like. Maybe it helps to replace the ritual and social fabric of a by-gone era that would have been peppered with religious and pagan experiences. Then again Lewes seems to uphold alot of it's traditions. Particularly at this time of the year.

Anyhow, good of you to stare disappointment down by getting involved with the race. Chapeau.
