In this episode of The Bad Stuff, David reflects on the type of person who spends a lot of time in South East Asia (ahem) after flying back home from his extended jaunt in Thailand. 

David admits to having running guilt, then denies it and then descends into a shallow depression thinking about how much running he hasn't done – and why he doesn't think he'll have time for racing for years...

Anyway, here's what's in this episode of The Bad Stuff...
