An update, for my records. This last week I -
Finished 'Between A Rock And A Hard Place' by Aron Ralston. This is the American mountaineer and 'outdoorsman' (I love that term. I am an 'indoorsman')who whilst solo canyoneering gets his arm stuck behind a great big rock.. and has to amputate it. Quite a story, and the book is full of great bits but also loads about 'chockstones', 'grapples', and 'camelbacks', which kinda passed me by. Check out - http://www.aralston.com/
I also nearly finished 'The Islamist' by Ed Hussain, but had to take it back to the library. Really good. Goes someway towards explaining how British Muslim youth can be seduced into the fascist death cult that is modern islamism. He also tackles and identifies how moderate Muslim society in UK failed, and also continues to fail, to address this issue.
Since Friday I have done the following runs -
10k in Chelmsford with Morgan. Early morning. Great weather. Morgan going on about Apocalypto, Roy Hattersley and anti-semitism etc etc etc. Great run.
6k in London, at lunchtime with Iain. To Hampstead Heath and back. Warm and hilly. Iain did it without stopping. And he sprinted at the end..
3.5k This morning, at home in Chelmsford. Early morning. Up the hill and back on my own.
And I have been listening almost exclusively to Richmond Fontaine. Go here for free mp3's - www.richmondfontaine.com/downloads/down.php
