I am truly grateful, I really am. I am fortunate enough to have a job. But today, with the sun shining out there and the sap rising, I have a severe attack of CBA. What I would give to be running free on some remote rocky ridge, just me, the breeze and some red kites for company. Rolling along over the beautiful roller-coaster trail from Moel Eilio to Snowdon or toiling up the thrilling Kirk Fell. Summoning the energy to keep going as the sky reddens and the shadows lengthen after a day spent navigating through the wilds of Mid Wales, a cooling pint hovering in the minds eye.

Bring on some long runs....and a fit-again running buddy!!
