Hmmmm, lying in bed, 7am alarm - the Sunday "lie-in", Alice Arnold bringing me up to date with the world, the drama of the Boat Race, back late last night, a moment to reflect, a marvellous run from IPF yesterday, just denied at the end of three miles in an exhilarating 3 way battle up the run-in, cruel, but he proved more than worthy of the step up in class, great day, Mrs G on the phone from the velodrome in Melbourne, excited, watching Chris Hoy perhaps handing over his mantle; time to get on, 35 hungry mouths waiting, Easter Day, the sky full of birdsong, tomorrows runners need to be excercised, dogs to be walked, Church with the boys at 11, Mrs A and Clare staying in Pumphreyland, avoiding the M74 commute, her Father rowed in that race, gritty stuff, perhaps that is the source of Lucy's "steel," where is she? on the way to Towcester; back here lunch with Granny, back to check the horses and fine tune plans for three Easter Monday runners, then the annual battle to stay awake until the end of the Masters (never manage!), this sporting world, happy days.........
