Summers here... apparently?

This is not how athletic tracks should look!

Summer is here... I just cant seem to find it! As I write this staring out of the window at the river running down the pavement outside the shop, wiping the remnants of the man flu i've been enduring for the last 2 weeks from my nose, its difficult to get motivated for tonights session. I haven't helped myself with clothing either, as because its "summer" all i've got is my trusty vest (every runner has at least 1 Nike Miler vest somewhere!) and split shorts... Good.

Apart from the weather the running seems to be going well. I decided to have 3 weeks away from racing so I could concentrate on some good training, but I'm planning to make an appearance at the first cheltenham open on wednesday to get back into it, and I'm considering entering one or two 10ks, pretty sure I'll regret that one three miles in...

I'm also going to enter a new multi terrain race called the cranham beast ( http://iamoutdoors.co.uk/events/cranhambeast/ ), with a 5 miler on the Saturday and a 14 miler on the Sunday it looks to be a great event, and I cant wait to find out what the "hidden surprises" are. Time to get my Saucony Peregrine off roaders out of hibernation I think!

See you all soon.
