John Steinbeck, The Long Valley

 A collection of short stories including The Red Pony, and like Jarvis Cocker and Zoe Gilbert before I struggled. Some of the stories went past me without me noticing, my mind on other things. It's not that I'm particularly worried about something else, I just couldn't get into them sadly. I injured my calf last weekend running, and had to miss the GSR this year. i tried a run the day before, but didn't even make it a mile until the pain kicked in. I can still cycle, so I can get exercise at least, but I may have to cut back the running for a bit. I would have had to do so anyway as it is getting dark, but I've been spending too much time on the bike in the garage and need to vary things more. It does have the advantage of being dry with no cars to worry about, and mean I can drink coffee and watch tv while cycling, but it's just spinning once or twice a day and it's not enough
