Paul's poorly and Rob's not much better as the year draws to a close, and the rain is unrelenting, but a review of the year can't help but lift the spirits. We look at how far Paul has come, Rob's ascetic mission to the mountains, the road through Cannock Chase back to York, running as a portal to emotions, the hope held out by Health Month, the life events that shaped our years in surprising ways, being careful not to cut your own rut, how running-and-chatting is good medicine, families in flux, four hundred - and thirty - episodes, your last PBs of the year and an incredible streak.
