That was the day after the Borrowdale Fell Race which you did a week after your second BGR attempt (and still ran a good race) and from what I recall, you left most of the party way behind on the walk and I kept having to reign you in so that we didn't lose the weaker members! Words were muttered about mountain goats. Your energy amazes me (although I challenge you to stay awake through the whole of a film! ) I think you've successfully proved that unless you are dying, there is no excuse not to run every day if you really want to, it is down to choice and priorities. I worked out that I run an average of 5 times a week and the days I miss tend to be because I fancy a rest day or I want to concentrate on something else that day. It is always a choice and not because I couldn't fit in a run.

I still stumbled out for a run though.... albeit a short one!
