The Road To Richmond - 2018

[marathondan]

The thread title can't be bettered, so I will recycle it.

I have a marathon in 4 months, so it's time to start running regularly and fitting other things into the time left over, rather than vice versa.

I ran a very satisfactory Autumn maintenance programme, which continued through January, but a niggling heel problem meant I missed two months. So not quite back to square one, but it will take a few weeks to feel fluent again.

On Sunday I found myself in Reading with a couple of hours to kill as no.1 daughter prepared for a concert, so popped over to Harris Garden and knocked out a few laps. It's very picturesque, but somewhat smaller than I realised, so the number of laps required was quite large. On the audio, Intern Dana returned from the desert otherworld long enough to rescue Cecil from the unending company picnic in which he was trapped, by opening a portal in the electrified volleyball net. A running theme of the podcast is the takeover of the radio station by an evil corporation, and the presenter's valiant stand against the oppressive Station Management. Something one of our RC brethren may relate to.
