As long as I don't get injured, I'm very confident about the year ahead. Sounds like you're on a roll as well, so let's hope you manage to knock over some of your targets.

Harsh but fair I'd say. And thanks for the plug for my own ramblings.
I'm bound to say there's a lot of positivity around this place just now. I feel pretty chipper after consecutive outings over 8 miles. Dan's experimentation with embalming in motion are inspirational, as are MLCMan's pre-dawn antipodean excursions. EG's battle is all the more moving and admirable considering the artillery lined up against him; an impressive wine cellar, a pub next door and just recently an incapacitated (now hopefully fully recovered - my best to M) spouse leaving him free to pursue those delicious, nefarious mores.
I share your optimism EG. I think 2010 will prove to be a terrific year for RCers. 2009 wasn't terribly good for me for a number of running-related reasons, one of which, tragically, we all shared in. I'll be pleased to see the back of it.
And finally, before I strap my ample bottom into my L200 for a ludicrous battle up the M23 to delivery my Mother's belated Christmas gift, I'd like to publicly endorse MLCMan's comments regarding your writing. You've been a tad frugal with your offerings over the year - understandably so - yet consitently you deliver with panache. Each missive is rather like a lovingly-prepared miniature banquet; delicious, perfectly-cooked centre-piece meats decorated with surprising and delightful tidbits; rare, juicy morsels accompanied by rich, full-blooded wine of fine vintage. And like all the very best meals you deliver quality over quantity, leaving us mopping our plates eager for another bite. Thank you.
