Quiet blogging week

Apologies for not keeping this up to date this week - no excuse. Anyway, here goes on what went on.
The weekend was a wash out. Geared up to run hurdles on Sunday but weather and Howard's injury put paid to that. Did a plyometric session in the garden (hoping over 3 hurdles in a row and jumping off one chair and on to another). Didn't feel any effect at the time, but have suffered all week from aching stomach muscles - means they were doing some good and that I was out of shape.

Monday I cycled into work, 5 1/2 miles each way, 22 mins in and just under 20 back. The new bike is pretty quick.
Tuesday, yoga in the morning then planning for track in the evening. The forecast was for rain, rain and more rain, so I emailed the Harriers to say I'd be there whatever. Fortunately, the rain eased of between 6 and 7pm and we had 10 Harriers (including 2 newbies) turn up and do 5x300m (1 min recovery) as fast as they could (attempting to do a 'fast mile'). Good session and everyone worked hard considering the soggy track.
I started my session at 7pm and the heavens opened again. I'd planned to do one of Howard's sessions. 3x3x200(1', 15') in 27/28. But just couldn't fire myself up to do it. Instead did 2x2x200 same rest, in 30,33/29,31. The tarck was very very slow, probably worth a couple of seconds. Overall pleased that I'd done it, but the quality was low.
