Futhorc
Rad is the English riding, and the poem draws the line the Elder rune only implies: easy in the hall, hard on the road. It is the difference between talking about the journey and being on it. Today the talking is over. Whatever you have been describing to people, the day asks you to actually cover some of it, at the horse's pace, with nobody watching. Progress here is measured in miles rather than in plans, and the miles are slow.
