Picked out a wee found poem on the eve of my latest late diagnosis, with a little help from The Skinny magazine’s perfectly timed “The Sports Issue”.

how can this Body be crumbling ruins?

a lifelong journey of battling sport’s complex balance

craving
         support
a foothold

come back to me, Health.
