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.

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.

C • Well done 1

Morning run with Rob, out around Dam Flask and back . A bit sore from session yesterday, but good to stretch the legs. Hopefully will loosen up for race tomorrow.

First time on my bike for months. Quite enjoyed it, but forgot the joys of dodging half asleep students and car doors. Also forgot how much colder it is on your bike, bloody freezing by the time free wheeled down from crookes.

Session in Beeley wood, 6x3 mins, off 2 mins recovery. Longer recoveries to try and run quicker, legs felt ok but slow! Cycling to work is my excuse. Need a few more speedier sessions.

run into work, lovley morning catching up with marathon talk, bumped into Rob just before work . We both had to remove headphones for our short run together so we didn't look like the most anti-social joggers ever.

slow plod back from work. Poorly planned had to carry papers back for presentation tonight made running even slower.

Winding run home from work , trying to run hard up hill and steady the rest. Seriously struggled to get moving , ran up through woods only the darkness kept me shifting, pesky spooky woods

early run out along Rivelin valley and back. First time in many weeks, good to catch up. Discussed plans for next few monhts, I need some basically!
Nature watch 1 heron 0 rats, they seem to have gone now weather is colder, big softies.
