Those meddling kids....

Tonight was track night and I aint feeling too bad after last nights 11.  There seemed to  be a weird rise in the outside air temperature so I opted for shorts and t-shirt.  Turns out I made the right choice for once!

After a short Boryslawsky debate (she says with a degree of diplomacy) we agreed to disagree that tonight's session should consist of 1 mile warm up, 3 x 1600's at 7.30 min mile pace and a mile cool down.  I always think to myself when I get to the track and stand on that start line that I can't possibly do whats required of me and I'll just get through it best I can.  However once we set off I can't help but put everything I've got into it (even though sometimes everything I've got ain't much!)

After the first lap, I was sweating cobs, it was like a summers evening and I felt quite smug when I saw some of the others running round in their thermals!

Now I'm not one to moan (!) but there were quite a lot of annoying children on the track tonight! I'm all for getting kids into sport and it's great to see  them getting involved, but some of them really need to learn some basic track etiquette! When you're 'styling it out' down the home straight and there's some pesky kid just wandering aimlessly in front of you it's a bit annoying really! Right that's the Victor Meldrew bit over.....

Bozza seems to have got his form back.  I am really pleased for him because he found it very tough last year.  I am also frustrated because it makes me question my own ability and progress. I can't go balls out at every session cos I know I'll just burn out. Besides I am only a girl!

I'll leave you with a picture of my gorgeous Mystery Machine slippers.....I think all this running is making me go a bit mad!!


"Hee he he he.......Raggy?"
