On Easter Saturday, my big Lenten fast came to an end. One that lasted longer than 40 days and 40 nights. Finally a win. After it felt like I’d been eating fish for three months.
So why am I grumpy? Maybe because we just had a shocking training session. Like these lads think they have it all solved now. Nothing gets you on edge quicker than the smell of guys relaxing after the run we’ve been on.
