This was possibly the longest stretch between blog posts since I began this carry-on a couple of years ago. I should have been on to tell the story of my successful Barcelona marathon over a week and a half ago, but, alas, there was no Barcelona marathon for me - successful or otherwise. Our trip got cancelled when one of a party of three took ill. There will be other marathons - it's not the end of the world. My own training has dipped dramatically these past few weeks though, but I still got out about three times to trot around four/five miles.
On Saturday another good friend of mine, Michael, passed away following a battle with cancer that lasted over a year and a half. He was much loved and achieved a great deal selflessly in his life. We will miss him greatly. We might also do well to learn from him.
Sorry to hear you missed Barca and sorrier to hear about your friend, Michael. The sense of perspective the passing of a close friend provides is both a shock and, can be, a huge motivation. Running helps, both ways.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your friend Michael. It's always a shock when a close friend passes. Hope the running helps you over the next while. Take care.
