Long weekenders

[Seafront Plodder]

In fact I'll go further. Why are you hijacking my serious training thread just because you managed to stagger up a bit of a slope - in a skirt - with a stick!!

MLCM's Rolling Hill and The Mountain are on our doorsteps. They are always there, resplendent in all their hypnotic majesty, tempting us whenever we run. Sucking us in, until we can resist no longer and climb - upwards and onwards we climb, temples pulsating from the supreme effort.

Until at last we reach the peak, and turn to measure our achievement. The land below basking in the late afternoon sun.

Yes that is hill training. That is what will see us through those painful miles in our respective races. It is the reason we run!

MLCM and I are in complete agreement on this......errr, probably.
