Update!

I have to report zero training. I have managed three races though and struggled with each of them. My intention in the last of them was to get in a half marathon under 2 hours and at least give me a PB... I didn't pull it off but got in in 2:15 or so. Not too impressive but to be expected! Running with no road training to speak of, running in trail shoes too, I was to try for an easy first lap and then see what happened with a flying second lap. Didn't work: first lap went to plan then the second jumped up and bit me. To show what a mess I'd made of it I still struggle up and down the stairs 3 days later. Ouch.

I have plans for 2010 which include a latter-day PB at 10k as well as getting through a super test of 100 miles of South Downs in 32 hours. I can't promise to get the right training in to make this happen but I'm hopeful of a return to some weekly mileage.
