Icarus @ 59 # 63

Its easy to stand back in awe of your kids and to bask in their progress, indeed its a serious requirement of parenting. But taking credit for their gene pool is not something I have ever done. And this weekend Diane runs the Brighton Half Marathon as a training run for the full marathon and later the New York marathon. Its a gruelling regime and the discipline is extraordinary, indeed little has really changed since Pheidippides carried a message from the Battle of Marathon to Athens all those years ago and it is a serious call, makes my 5 am rise for a 6 am run to Winchester a breeze in the park since I will be driving. But as you can see, the gene pool was her call and I am so glad for that. Happy Friday, the weather is, I am, and so are you, where else can we be...
