JUST TO CONFIRM…..

While you’re here, you may like to see what else I ramble about…..
I compiled a ‘best of the blog’ for 2017, check it out HERE
By way of a quick introduction, I am a 50something runner, sharing an amazing life of endurance adventure with my beautiful, precious, inspirational, wife and soul mate, Nicky. We care for her father, Frank, who is sadly suffering with Dementia. We also have Charlie, the Border Terrier, who features regularly on the blog.
I’m also a proud Step Dad and Grandad and this also features regularly in my wittering.
I’m also an aspiring writer……. I keep another (very) occasional blog which charts my all too intermittent efforts at moving my novel along. With its working title Dogs That Don’t Look Like Their Owners, it trundles along…… slowly!
The fact that I’m a builder by day also features regularly in the blog as my daily efforts quite often impact my planned running.
The blog is a hobby and I absolutely love writing it. If each post brought a moment’s pleasure to just one reader it would make me a happy, and proud, writer.
Thank you for taking the time to check out the blog, and do check out the T Series event in August, I am so very grateful to them for donating this place, giving one reader an opportunity to test themselves along this iconic trail.
SO, THE COMPETITION AGAIN:
