Captain Bumbag throws in the towel

And so I face, the final curtain

Alas, alack and similar terms. I am bowing out. I can't take the pace. After a long internal struggle I have decided not to run the full marathon in Singapore. I could list the numerous reasons but they would all just sound like excuses, which essentially they are. The bottom line is, I can't face the training. It is just too much. I shall have to find some other more reasonable challenge to try. (I might try for the half still though)

However, I do plan to keep blogging. And Cherry is still going to run (depending on how fast she can get over her tatty corpse illness). I will spend my words on telling you about what we are planning to do. So far, we are going to Singapore and arriving on Thursday lunchtime. I think that day will be dinner and bed. We have Friday and Saturday free and will do stuff including going to the very highly rated Singapore zoo. Sunday, Cherry dies, I clap and then there is some lounging by the pool. Monday is spent doing something Richard has organised for me birthday and then flying in the evening to Borneo. Haven't made the where we stay official yet but that can always be tomorrows blog....

ps I am happy again now I don't have to train and am just going on holiday!!!
