Brilliant, after 2 weeks of injury and illness, I was right up for going out today. The rest appeared to have done me good as I was full of beans and raring to go. Despite missing the 8 mile run yesterday I was confident enough to do it today instead of the 4. […]

As a result of the above, I have been Mr Grumpy.  So, […]
