  • Diamonds! In this weather?

  • Long run from hell

    I'm keeping this post short, as I don't want to bring anyone down. I'm trying to inspire and encourage here. Today's session, following an extended illness-related rest and a couple of not too encouraging shorter runs over the past couple of days,
