March Too Much

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

My small part in punk music history.

The real question is this: would we have been better off remaining ignorant of the console’s place in music history, or is there something positive to be gained from knowing what we briefly had in our possession, despite the horrific ending?

If ever I work it out, I’ll let you know, but the console's demise, under 20 metres of landfill was perhaps a fitting, anarchic end for an icon of punk history.

 

Wow - reading this had me hooked! What a tale :-) I think definitely better to know - knowing you are a part of something bigger than oneself is a good thing for human beings and I don't think you need judge your past self against what you know now. Not that I think that will stop you ;-)

In the meantime, keep running. I am THRILLED to hear that you're getting so much from the running at the moment and, in your latest post that it is helping you cope with a difficult time at work. I am not running at the moment - instead I am doing ankle exercises, of which more in my own training diary - and I really miss the running. I can't tell you how much it helps to read about what everyone else is doing, it keeps me feeling connected to the doing and the feeling of getting out there.

Cheers TK, much appreciated! After all that however, the inevitable happened and I had my first missed run for a while, being simply too exhausted on getting home to contemplate anything other than crashing and burning sleeping. Oh well, it happens from time to time - I have been rather overdoing it of late. Tomorrow will be better.
