It's Half Term and Sian has taken the children to her Mum's in Taunton, so I'm left training, mending taps, learning how to program my website in DOM and DHTML and most of all waiting for AW to appear, as all the other things are fairly mundane. I ran for 45 mins this lunchtime, I think that will be it for today.

My lay off from circuits for three weeks has taken its toll today, I'm feeling very stiff when I move in the wrong direction, and even my hamstrings seem to be suffering post-circuits stress. I'm missing a few sessions, there are races on the next two Wednesdays, but it must be improving my all-round fitness, which I believe is going to help the marathons - it should help the other distances as well.

Winter is about to truly set in, my bike front light has arrived a few days before the clocks go back, yesterday it poured with rain for all of the time I was riding home, and next week it will be dark.
