I felt very tired today as I trudged for just over 50 minutes at lunchtime today. I'm not sure that I could survive training tomorrow evening, but work has got in the way and I'm not sure I'll be back in time anyway. I'm beginning to think that I'm back into my old ways of racing and preparing for next weekend's race, I'll certainly be glad when the cross country season is over and we get away to Portugal.

It's Adrian's funeral on Wednesday - put's all this nonsense about the bluest day of the year into perspective.
