December is here before its June

[Charliecat5]

It’s one of them funny days… 

A “one-of-a-kind in rock ‘n’ roll’ has passed on… I think it is a huge tribute to the man that a lot of people I know have their own Lemmy story to tell.  Mine is polishing his boots before a gig in Sherwood Forest many years ago.

The man passes… but he leaves a legacy behind… and central to this is living life to the full.  So whilst I don’t pretend to come anywhere close to the life he led... in my own way, strapping on the runners this evening and heading out with the herd was just the therapy I needed.

It was a lovely trip out… the herd split from the beginning with a small group of crazies leaping straight into light-speed, leaving the rest of us, a mixed group, to do a nice steady run around the streets of Lewes, with a few hills thrown in for me to test the flabby arse muscles.   Following last week’s gluttony it was great to just run at a nice sub 9min/mi pace without any shenanigans thrown in to test body and soul.  It was also nice to arrive back after 4.5 miles with plenty of juice still left in the tank… I could have done it again.  These Sunday morning Twitten Runs are definitely having a positive effect.

Time for a shower now… and in the absence of any JD in the house… I will drown a couple of beers and raise a glass to Mr Kilmister.  His music is raw, it is played from the heart, it is simple, and it is great - especially when turned up to 10.  Cheers Sir.
