Warm up and down for races. Felt very stiff warming up and was therefore pleased with the extra 15 minutes that I had allowed myself owing to miscalculating when I was going to start.
National cross country relays. Really had not been looking forward to this based on last Tuesdays track session and my training of late. Just decided to get stuck in and perservere. Was pleased to have found out that I ran a bit faster than first thought and PB'd (ran 16.38 in 05 and 16:59 in 04). Not quite sure how I managed this - I am putting it down to perfect conditions and bloody-mindedness!
Run to work, up the hill to Walkley then down South Rd.

Run home, with some spiral inspired hills and a few fastish efforts. Legs felt tired - there were loads and loads of people in fancy dress. Favourite was a guy/girl in a monkey suit.
The new cycle to work only takes 13 minutes but the hill up to University means that you arrive with a nice sweat on!

Run to track and back - very late getting there and was secretly hoping that the session would have already started....no such luck.

1700, 1600, 1500, 1200 (supposed to have been a 1400). Really struggled tonight, but based on my training (or lack of it) in the last month I deserved to.
