[Sweder]

Just survived a swift, filthy run in the foulest conditions. Wind, rain, swirling mist, slick mud, rapidly encroaching nightfall ... I loved it. I guess my mojo is still lurking, bobbing up to the surface now and then.

The twelve week weight-watch is over today. There have been a few bumps in the road, not least a couple of overseas trips when I didn't run so much, fell off the wagon once or twice and failed to complete my fat-burning sessions. That said I've held a steady 88 kilos this week, an overall loss of 6.2 kilos, and my wobbly belly is much reduced. After Christmas, when I plan to have a beer or two and my fair share of high-octane grub, I'll hit the fat-burning trail once more, aiming for that magical 85 kilos. It'll be tough to get there before Almeria but I aim to give it my best shot.

Happy Christmas to all. Santa won't be bringing me any running stuff this year (I like to buy my own) but I'm certainly in the market for new boots. My surviving WH3s are in tatters, no longer fit for purpose. Mizuno have an interesting new range out so I'd best get tapping away.

Cheers!
