It is cold, wet and miserable outside and I am not going out for a run this morning.
Good news: A copy of R4YL magazine turned up in my letterbox. A free subscription from the Cadbury Marathon.
The start list for the Country Championships has turned up. 4 runners in the 5000m, 8 in the 1500m, 10 in the 800m. The Country Champs are popular. They have my age as 50! I’m 49! I’m not ready to head to the dark side of over 50.

Not so good news: My fire alarm is making an annoying noise. I suspect the battery is low, but I don’t know how to change it.
The workshop was like four seasons in one day. I gave my talk and I think it went reasonably well. Then at times after that I felt completely hopeless and that I know nothing. Maybe vegetation science is something I am not very good at.
Perhaps running is one of the few things I have a talent for. It certainly is something that makes me glad I was born myself and not someone else. It is like a window to my potential, I don’t think I have ever reached my full potential at anything.
