Why I am running:- West Coast Eisteddfod Bryn Seion Church

Not much to report on the running front today. I did go for a brief trot around the turnips earlier on and I am keeping up my training schedule. Still struggling with the demon tobacco although I have cut down to a couple of cigarettes a day. 'Cold turkey' hasn't worked for me yet.

This is probably as good a time as any to reflect on one of the reasons that I am running...the West Coast Eisteddfod. We have been promising to release details of the program for some time and today we delivered on that promise. Here is the main event daytime schedule , subject to the usual ongoing revisions, emendations, alterations and clarifications , we are still nearly six months away from the event after all
