[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Second run of the new era this morning. 7 miles (well 6.77 but who's counting) up to the top of the mighty Blackcap and back. Blackcap, for those who don't know it, is a funny run, as you don't really realise how high you climb, until you come back down again.

A fantastic run - everyone on RC should attempt to go to Lewes and run Blackcap at least once in their running lives. When you do though, don't do it like I did on the back of three slovenly weeks of food and booze with no running. A little embarrassing, it was, but a fabulous outing even so.

And of course, there's always Sweder's beer fridge waiting for you at the bottom. Or the Pelham Arms or ... well, you get the drift.

Sigh.
