Almost any run, even marathons, ultras etc. were a doddle after that!]

The trouble is when you are bouncing around chained to a boat in all the gear you are stuck at the mercy of the wind and the waves, for however long it takes, I asked mr jelly several times was it time to call the lifeboat out, but mr jelly had it all under control, he still misses it, me and the youngun don’t miss it at all!

Silent Runner Jun 2021 9:11pm, 2 Jun 2021 463 posts	0 Silent Runner I like that McG (page 2, second post). I bought Only Forward by Michael Marshall Smith purely on the strength of a rather unusual abstract design on the cover. It still remains one of my favourite books.
