anybody else now see everything as a challenge? Big hill "I could run up that" foot of snow "I'm gonna run in that" long straight road " wonder what that's like to run along" ooh it's raining really hard "going for a run in that" or is it just me hahahaha

Struggling for motivation at the moment but I do know what you mean and it's a great feeling. When work is less stressful I'm prone to the same attitude regarding mountains.

(Do not google the spine race. I sometimes lie awake thinking about it, and what a smug lump of smugness I would be in the parallel universe where I conquer such things. Ditto the Bob Graham Round.)

Nope, it's all of us here I think. Mind you I'm not so keen on hills but am trying to conquer them slow but sure.

I like a new route! Then off a new route you get routlets. You could spend all day checking those out. Remember to take supplies!

Ha ha me too !

It makes me laugh when you see what I would call a cake that would serve 3 at a push , and on the label it says " Serves 6 "

6 what ? Baby sparrows ?

Either the portions are exceptionally small or I just like large portions ( ooer Missus ) :-D xxx

Good girl. Gotta keep our calorie intake up with all this ruddy running or we'd all get too thin!!! (hollow laughter - not sure what the text speak for that is!)
