Beginning Again

I've decided to start INWAP-ing again, this time on the web. For anyone who doesn't know, INWAP was previously published by printing it out on paper and posting it to people. (I may still have to do that for one or two who don't surf.) I rather liked the precise control that gave me over the format -- I could even choose the type of paper, and I liked to obsess over things like where line-breaks occurred. The premise of it was that it would never take long to read or write; hence the title.

I've had a busy week. Last weekend, I went to Devon to run in the Dartmoor Vale 10k, which sounds scenic, but is actually around the rather less scenic town of Newton Abbott. And then a social with some RW people afterwards. Our host told us just to turn up and go on in to the house, even if she wasn't there. There would be a dog -- a large german shepherd -- but "she only wants to play" .... I declined this opportunity. Country folk eh? What if I'd gone into the wrong house?

On Thursday evening I'm off with Karen to see Suzanne Vega. And then next weekend, we're running the Beachy Head marathon. Which is hilly. VERY hilly. Aargh. I've been doing a fair bit of marathon training, which means I've been eating like a horse, which means I'm now feeling all tired and fat and bloated .... this running is so good for us .... I've booked the Monday as holiday to recover.
