A couple of friends have asked me where my
UTMB blog is.
Well, it is half done. Or half undone. And the truth is that
it has been half done for nearly 2 months.
And every time I think about finishing it,
every time I thing about doing anything creative, that pesky black dog barks
outside the back door trying to get in. It is louder at this time of year, it
likes the darkness.
That annoying dog takes a lot of time and
attention. It takes more than it gives. It is not man’s best friend.
It doesn’t want to go for a walk. It
doesn’t want to go for a run. It simply wants, and takes, all your time and
energy. It drains your positivity. And once in that door, it is destructive. It
takes over.
Few understand it.
Nobody likes it.
Many know this dog, understand its nature,
its desire to destroy all things positive. Some hear it whilst many others see and feel
its effects and devastation.
However, on this occasion, it isn’t get
in. I won’t allow it. Jenny and I have
bolted the door.
The barking is getting quieter
