Too close for comfort

Well its been a while since I last blogged, time has been a rarity of late with family and work taking the fair share of my time. Training has been sporadic to say the least, yes I have had a few good sessions but unfortunately there has been too many non training days.

I have to admit I have been chasing peak fitness a bit too much, and slaughtering myself every time I go out not the I intend to but when I am out I push and push thinking that I may not be able to fit in another run for a number of days, so I got to a stage that my legs were dead but I still pushed to the extent that my body and mind were at the total low, I even thought about pulling out of Bristol 10k.

I am not ready to any extent for next weeks race, only one race since November 2009, which was a 5k mob match between Thornbury RC and Chepstow Harriers (yes I am still with B&W just 2nd claim to Thornbury) I came home in 3rd place in a time of 16:52, but it did hurt.

Anyway, to next weekend, I am not looking forward to it at all, but we shall see all that it will be good for is a competitive tempo training session, but I will be no where near any sort of PB, but hey that’s life and family does come before running!!!! doesn’t it?
