Update 2016
I'm trying to resuscitate my race diary. The hope here is that by going through recent running escapades I can keep my running mojo alive. And prove to myself I've done some running.
Some months have seen the equivalent of CPR with events coming thick and fast. Whilst there are also big gaps where life has got in-the-way.
At 48 I guess the slow-down is well under way. But it's a very shallow decline. And with so many great reasons to run and enjoy this sport that shouldn't be a problem. It's just part of the constant recalibration we're all engaged in.
All-in-all it's a pretty committed effort. Most of the races I've done before; but I've managed to try a couple of new ones.
The highlights have probably been the fell races attached to agricultural shows this summer. I must try and do more of them next year. Shows like Kilnsey and Grasmere Sports are already in the diary for 2017. And The 3 Peaks is always a big day out that seems to set-you-up for the Spring.
More cycling in-between is another lesson.
Perhaps now I can make some more meangful observations about whatever happens this Autumn. Probably a handful of Cross Country League races. Hard but satisfying. The perfect pre-cursor to a well deserved afternoon nap.
