Ran on Wednesday morning as it’s a nicer day. Woke up later than planned so got straight out the door. Started very slowly, recovery mode, intending to pick up the pace in the final twenty minutes. I did wake up but was still running over nine minutes a mile at the end so definitely a recovery run and not MP as planned. I’ll switch my watch back to miles this week so I get used to thinking that way before Seville. I think Paul is at cross country this weekend so no run from Horntye. Jack’s group are doing a flattish 13 miles. I was intending to run that with them and then do some easier miles afterwards. I wouldn’t even try to keep up. I’d run at the back with Kev Davis and Kim at MP. I see now you’ve changed my Sunday to a slower 150 minutes. I could either run with Jack’s group or if you think it’s sensible I’ll run with Lindsey’s group if they’re meeting at Dordrecht. I certainly won’t run with Jack’s group again until April as they are cranking up for Manchester marathon so I’d be ok doing their easier runs the two weeks before and after that. I’m well aware that I’m getting towards the time when it is less about miles and more about rest and sleep. Still four and a half weeks to go. I didn’t get in to Valencia on the ballot. Ashley Jess and Zoe did and Jake didn’t. Maybe the waiting list will move quickly but it won’t happen for me as I’m over 10,000th on the list. It didn’t move at all when I applied late last year.
