I just can’t get enough of the Cliff Young story

Every few months I find myself telling someone about him - and I find myself loving his story all over again. 

In 1983, at the age of 61, Cliff Young, a country-bumpkin potato farmer, ran non-stop from Sydney to Melbourne (that’s 875 kms!!).

He arrived at the starting line in overalls and gumboots having never run a competitive race in his life! Not only did he finish the distance in 5 days and 15 hours, but won the race! 

What a legend!

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
