Training was at Sneyd Park today, I haven't been to a session for many weeks and I was a little worried that it would all go wrong - but it wasn't too bad. It was a cold and wet night, Sian was feeling very cold, but Tuesday sessions are a very important part of my schedule even when preparing for a marathon.

Things had changed while I was away, or perhaps it was just that Rob wasn't there with a bug. Mike has acquired a group of dynamic youngsters - the Peters, Gary D. and Jon were all out tonight, and I wasn't a long way adrift. I can tell that I'm slower and have better endurance, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

...and we're thinking about the Weston Prom on Thursday, after tonight it seems possible, of course I've got to get through circuits yet, I suspect it will come down to the weather on Thursday evening.
