How to handle tough situations, sober Today is my sober-anniversary! Unreal. Writing this today is a "sobering" (no pun intended. I did actually mean to do that!!) reflection of what I have been through. It's a reminder that I do not want to go back there. Practising...

Your mind can interpret things around you when going through the paces during long-distance events! I've often wondered whether people really hallucinate with sleep deprivation and long periods of exercise. This is something often spoken about in ultra-distance...
