I usually run a couple of half marathon events each year, as I can fit in the training. I'd like to think I had a marathon in me, but it's time to train at the moment. Ultras have never interested me, as they seem to move away from 'running' for most people and I worry about the body damage.

I replied to Dorian's post earlier - I wrote to what I thought was a fanzine address back in the 80s and got sent this Fried photo from Julian - very exciting for the 26 year old me!

still one of my favourite albums. I wrote to Julian back in the 80s, when I was 16, thinking it was a fanzine address, and he sent me this photo from the shoot. I was properly thrilled!
