ABSTRACT
I've been running [fell] for nearly 30 years. People ask why. I have only one answer. There's nothing on this earth I enjoy as much than getting onto the hills and feeling the wind in my lungs, and heaving my body up the slopes. The smell of the rivers, the feel of the wet grass slipping under my feet, the sounds of the birds as I scurry through the brush. The feeling of wholeness and peace, even in the middle of the gruelling run, is almost indescribable… It took a long time to get there, and to have a mindset where I can be alive there. And I am alive, because you never know what you will face on the run. Out there is unpredictable and untamed.
