Stop Press

As soon as you write or say something you are tempting fate! I remember walking with my wife on holiday in Galloway when I said as headed for Bargaly Glen that we hadn't seen a single caravan all morning. Three caravans came round the corner immediately I'd said it. the reply was a tender and loving "You and your big mouth!" Prasad is not now racing this weekend - his disappointing year just got a bit more disappointing - his downhill running was going really wekk until yesterday when he raced down Ben A'an in training. Ben A'an is very steep and very rocky. He may well have broken a bone in his ankle, it is swollen up and he has a fair bit of pain at the bottom of his shin. I take an oath here that I will not write anything in the future tense about any runner ever again. Well, never say never, eh?
