Nov 14th 2009 Stanage struggle
Phil Scarf called round - after a mere 13 years. Phil a former university house mate of mine called round and we compared notes on the last few years. Wow.
Always a sobering experience looking at what you have actually done. But, Hey its all about being positive.
So I was proud I'd set up a business and an arts project, met hundreds of great friends on a fabulously stimulating social journey.
Phil was now still happily married to Jackie. They had met on a famously cringworthy student evening way back in the 80's despite our purile efforts to scupper the whole affair before it started. Not only happily married with a grown up family, but a Professor - how cool, and how old does that make you feel !
A great person now - cracking on with his adventure racing, endurance racing and some really motivating escapades while holding everything else down, Phil just happened to be orienteering for Wales this weekend and had a spare moment to call in.
It was a genuinely heart warming experience catching up. Not so cool he is now classed as a veteran and that our quick sortie upto Stanage was, lovely in its spontaneity, but similarly motivating as it showed me just how much work I am going to have to do to get into this endurance lark.
