ON CLOUD (LESS) NINE


A memorable "2 Res Run" today.  Compulsory sunglasses for a 7 mile easy jog around Swinsty and the Fewston under an incredible, cloudless autumn sky.  Arrived to find the Swinsty car park nearly full and knew the paths would be busy for the figure of 8 run; and so it proved.  No real problem though as today the pace was not an issue. Just to get around without damage after a couple of "heavy" days. At 60 I must have been one of the youngest going around with the exception of newly sacked Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate who was taking advantage of the beautiful weather (and having time on his hands) to exercise his dogs.

Arrived home to find that my replacement copy of John Bryant's book THE LONDON MARATHON
The History Of The Greatest Race On Earth had arrived.  (£3 plus £2.75 p.& p. from Fair and fast via Amazon)  If you check out page 136 you'll see it shows the picture of Grete Waitz and myself incorrectly printed such that we are running the wrong way on the cobbles!  Scanned , corrected and published today. Scroll down. Happy days!
