Welcome to the brave new world

Hello running blog regulars, and welcome to our new home! Sorry, the dust covers are still on and the builders are still making a right mess everywhere and it turns out I forgot to pre-order the new shoe rack for your muddy trainers - mind your feet by the door there - but hopefully we can still find a comfy space to talk about running together.

There were many Monday mornings when, having published the blog, I'd get caught up in other work stuff and not have a chance to look back at the comments for ages. Going back in some hours later, it was always amazing how many conversations, race reports, triumphant tales and gloomy reports of injury woes had already started. I know, without me there! I mean, who would have thought it! And as time passed, I probably started to take the cameraderie and support almost for granted. Well, the last few weeks of blogging over at the Guardian certainly stopped that in its tracks. All your stories of support and advice received, laughs had, and chicken soup recipes shared are fabulous - but what really blows me away is how many actual, real friendships have come out of this blog.

So, guys! Group hug! Oh, sorry sorry didn't realise that was wet paint... as you were. First Monday post will follow soon, and forgive glitches and technical f* ups (hang on, this is my blog now! It's my party and I'll swear if I want to!) while I get used to things. I may even build a more whizzy site, with added bells and whistles and a free cake dispenser*

In the meantime, happy running!
