    Bored, bored, bored!!

    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!!

    Perfect day for it wheeze, it's lovely out there.

    I am stuck in work too and although I have the next 2 days off, I doubt there'll be much running time.

    You............. bastard Wheeze

    Your description of being out on a lonely mountain ridge with red kites for company has just crashed headlong into the reality of me staring gloomily out of the office window into the traffic cone filled muddy depths of the Leeds - Liverpool canal, with the mostly fat and coughing city folk elbowing their way over the bridge behind, into the carbon monoxide ridden Leeds city centre

    Likewise, stuck in the office in Kensington looking out at the glorious sunshine, dreaming of my next fell-race

    7 mile road run into the office this morning pleasant to run in sunshine, but doesn't really qualify as enjoyable, not like being out there in the hills...

    Just been out for an hour, not too sunny here, but not bad none the less.

    FFTF, I forgot you were in Kensington - so am I, just near High Street Ken tube, did I mention that?

    a glorious day indeed

    we'll have to go for a run in Hyde park one lunchtime

    or a pint outside the pub!

    oh and Mr Wheeze, wonderfully put: yesterday and today have been truly vernal in London, and I was also lucky enough to be running up Great Gable on Saturday with snow underfoot and blue skies above.

    When the sun shines into my office they all close the blinds to stop the reflection on their PC screens. Not that there is much to look at anyway
