I mean, what a race to end a plan on! As I said wanted to just enjoy this as I saw it as a bonus race after last years cancellation. I’m now focused on the next plan. I need to move forward. Please may we chat about how to do this? I think over this plan I’ve learnt I put so much pressure on myself and it’s not at all helpful to you, me, the plan l, development. The last couple of races that I’ve done and thought “meh let’s see” I’ve done ok! I know this is a me issue not a you issue, and I’m working on it!
Today was soggy greatness! And fell in with a lush lady 5k in and she was amazing-had a stupid panic but because she was chatting I focused on her, got my breathing back and got through it.
I hate that I have to do so early-but that’s life, but I do see the benefit of running with others, please don’t think I’m being difficult. Any with Matts marathon training impending, it’s only going to get more tricky.
but TWR does help with easy group miles-often a couple of the girls do more pre or post, and there’s talk of pre or post hill training (about 20/30mins worth) to get us ready for the half.

Simon thank you so much for your constant calm support and encouragement. I do so appreciate it.
