| shoes: Asics Gel 1120 (1) |
| Sprint race 2. Same course, but seeing how much quicker it was second time round. Started with Rob, and we took quite a few different route choices. Just pipped him to the finish. Must have run the first one well, as wasn't much quicker second time round. |

| 3km steeplechase at track meet in Hull. I suck big time jumping over the hurdles. Got in a boo afterwards. I'm not doing that again until I learn how to do it properly. On the plus side, I was 30 secs faster than last year so a new PB (I also think it might be a 3km PB seeing as I've not done a 3km TT before :-) ). |

| Run home from work. Foot was fine last night, but a bit niggly again today. It felt better running downhill, which is different to the other day when that hurt more. It's annoying. Might get Dave to have a look at it tomorow. |

| Collecting controls from Beeley event. Foot still sore.
I reckon some dodgy stuff goes on in that car park (apart from orienteering races!). About 5.45 a woman drives in, parks, and just sits in her car. About 5 minutes later a guy pulls up in a jeep, the woman gets out of her car with a rucsac and gets into the jeep which drives off. About an hour later, the jeep comes back to drop her off. |

| Track from work and then back home with Rob. Oli and Jenny went to play in the mud along the canal. Ronnie was down tonight, but not training after having played in the afternoon. Left foot seemed to go into spasm on the run home and was almost too sore to run on by the time I got home. Seems to have eased off a bit now which is good. |
