Half Running.

I am going to do a half marathon in March, in New York, with our daughter India. Once upon a time I ran four New York marathons four years running, and a few others too. But now I am not so fit. I have to start training somewhere, soon. Yesterday the sun was up and the breeze was cool, so I did a speed yomp up Cloch na ben, the granite tor that watches over Glen Dye. And then I ran down again and was back in my office (after a shower, I promise) within a couple of hours. I'll have to do quite a lot more if I'm going to make it round New York in March. But the main thing was the simple joy of the Great Outdoors on a Monday and -of course- the fact that I worked much more efficiently when I got back to the office. So, 2012. Work less but smarter. Get fit. Go outside. Simple!
