Running 10 km races is surely nothing at all to a man like you, with 100 km runs on his mind, and I take my hat off to you for such endurance and resoluteness of spirit.

As for Brighton Rock, yes, it’s well worth seeking out, and I hope you enjoy the book once you find it.

As I get older, I find I take more satisfaction in successfully managing a race, rather than what the numbers say … I suppose it’s one of the reasons the majority of ultramarathoners are over 40. Patience is generally the last virtue to be learned, I think.

And thanks to you, I have another Graham Greene novel to seek out … for some reason Brighton Rock has escaped my notice. The filmed version sounds interesting as well.
