Running 1 [3]
(rest day)
great day for armchair sport, kind of watched most of it. I knew something was missing from London marathon coverage on BBC, yes half the screen taken up by eurovision style adverts for "host" city. Still enjoyed Paula's and even more so Scott Overall's results.
So inspired even entered Great Yorshire run, 2 weeks to get some speed!
Capped off the day by watching Cav win world champs.

Running race 1:35:00 [5] 15.0 mi (6:20 / mi)
Northern road relays , first leg suffered with the pace , hallamshire sneaked into nationals in 25th. Stirling run from dean on our last leg. Felt ok for about first mile of my leg then as pace picked up I drifted back . Guts complained on warm down after nice thai curry last night , apologies to Rob. Rob had a double disappointment when he discovered Warington was not on the sea as he expected.
After 8 laps around Birchwood industrial estate through the day I could happily never see it again.

Event: grunt y fen
10 AM
Running race 1:12:50 [5] 13.1 mi (5:34 / mi)
Grunty fen half , planned to run this to qualify for London next year. Nice flat course but ridiculously windy as exposed fen countryside , off steady , Aaron Scott , bombed off at start and kept going. Felt comfy in second untill 10 miles then five people passed me which was a bit depressing . Came back at a couple of them with a SPRINT in last mile but was hard for that time . Was slightly cheered at the end by chatting to guys around me who had all been sub 70 recently so hoping was a slow day .

Session with Hallamshire. Had to go straight from work , then early. Did 3 mile on way to club. Packed my bag pessimistically this morning and forgot vest was bloody boiling. Great fart lek kept control freak tendencies happy as I got to choose reps and route. 9 efforts over about 6.5 miles, felt ok. Nice to have a big group out. .
Achilles sore jogging home, but ok during the session.
