    Irene Emily Louise Morris was born in Southwark, London, on 8 October 1920, the youngest of five children born to Arthur and Florence. Her early life is largely a mystery as she rarely spoke of her childhood, nor of her experiences during the Second World War. It is only through the memoirs of her husband, Eric Mutton, that we have any written record at all. After the war, tragedy struck on more than one occasion and led to the decision to emigrate in 1958. Leaving England to raise their family in Tasmania proved rewarding. Despite more difficulties along the way, life was much improved and certainly more peaceful.This slim volume is a tribute to 'Rene', our Mum, and to commemorate the 100th year of her birth.

    Taking up the sport of long distance running as a cure for a midlife crisis is one thing, but to persist with it for a further 15 years is quite another. That the author chose to indulge a modest interest in such pursuits, and then continue with it was as much a surprise to himself as anyone else. To diarise the high, low and 'meh' moments encountered along the way for a decade and a half is a worthy effort, but then that's perhaps because - according to Graham - he discovered the real meaning of life in the process. For anyone navigating the difficult maze of choice between a midlife crisis Lamborghini or the running shoes, Graham's advice is simple, even if the reasons for choosing running over the supercar must be discovered for yourself. This, he says, is done through the simple but challenging act of lacing up some running shoes, heading out the door and into the unknown. There you may find the real reasons why so many, like Graham, are combatting their mortality and finding the answers on the damp streets, the rocky trails and even on the treadmills of the runner's world.Or, as he puts it:Run on; run as long and as far as you can. It's worth every step.
