| Some running at last. Ran around the Yorkshire sculpture park in a big group. I was waiting for the guys to pick up the pace and head off for some 'real' training, but unusually everyone was happy to potter around the Henry Moores and Andy Goldsworthys. It's a pretty cool place and I'm afraid it was impossible to look at it without 'orienteer vision' - it really would make a great sprint area. Felt OK and no ill effects afterwards, but totally overheated wearing two thermals and tights on a warm sunny day. |

| Still sick, but feeling a bit better at least. Yesterday was the worst day yet and I spent it almost completely in bed. The turning point came with a red hot Manzil's Madras in the evening. |

| Night train back to Moscow last night and not much fun with a sore throat. Hung out in Moscow for a few hours and then headed to the airport and home. The journey seemed to go on for ever with queue after queue to stand in. Most stupid of all was when we arrived at Heathrow; straight off the plane and into another security check to get to the connections. How I could have acquired a deadly weapon in the space of leaving the plane to entering the airport I do not know.
Airports are designed to make you feel as intimidated and inhuman as possible - and does any of it really help? Surely it is still possible to hijack a plane, it's just that not many people chose to do it. Did it really happen that much more often in the past before all the stupid new security measures? No, because people are generally civilised. But by treating everyone who wants to travel like suspected criminals and infringing on personal freedom it makes even civilised people snap and do extreme things. Traveling is no fun when you're sick. |
