Treadmill at the commie. It's a sad state of affairs when you can time your 'training run' based on what's on telly. I must plan better next time. My foot was ok during, but not now.

I read the Bof egm thingy today. I don't really mind paying more membership if I thought that it was well run. How about they agree to scrap 'focus' just to pretend to understand the sport a bit. I think we could all do without knowing the 6 months old jk results / have mike Hamilton tell us how grateful we should be that some bloke from british fencing (or wherever) has agreed to be a NED for our pitiful sport / have someone try to justify/explain explorer - sorry Xplorer - again. The kids (who just glance at the pictures briefly) tell me I was in the last one. I was winning something. Jeez - that's how out of date it was!

And parents in sport week - British orienteering interview Hector. What's that all about? The goal for the vast majority of kids (and what parents want for their kids) is to have fun and learn skills and get active. Why not ask parents and family groups at local events how they could be more supported? What have the elites got to do with it? Odd. And this week they are promoting mental health in sport.
