Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
OK, so today started very positively. As I'm in the "fast group" - just - I got to luxuriate in an 8am start, well after the peloton had headed off into a downpour at 7am. The heavy rain causing miles of calf-deep mud on the trail? No worries. A pleasantly short 54km course (only 5 miles more than a marathon) - very agreeable. A glass of Languedoc Shiraz at the penultimate aid station - first rate. A few moments of sunshine to help separate the downpours and dry out soggy clothing - a big merci for that.
Now lying in my sleeping bag trying to warm up on my slowly deflating air mattress - no Mr In-Between here! Just one week to go. This is such a wonderful part of France to visit on foot. Today we ran past dolmens so ancient that they made churches dating back to 900AD look modern. The sense of history here is overwhelming at times.

Oh NOOOOOO your air mattress is dying??? Did you bring any duck tape, that stuff can fix anything!!
Sounds like a great run. Go Russell!
Russ, I'll be thinking of you whilst in The Red Lion tonight (Thursday). Not much, you understand, but I'll try to remember to mention you in despatches. Run safe. Keep well. Good luck, Martin
