relaxing

it was just an easy run today, 8 miles at a very steady pace. i am starting to feel noticably more dehydrated in the mornings now so i am having to carry extra drink with me at work. i hope it doesn't get as bad as some of the days we had last summer with guys going down with heat exhaustion, me included, as that is some thing that i am very prone to. my stomach felt bad all day at work today so i made a conscious decision that today was going to be an easy day, especially in consideration of the fact that i have a race on tuesday evening so obviously i have to ensure freshness as a top priority in order for me to have a crack at my pb.

i'm still having trouble deciding what my main distances are going to be for the summer when the track season rears its ugly head again. i am thinking in terms of 800's, 1500's and 3000's with possibly a 5000 meter race thrown in for good measure. one thing i have decided though is that if i don't pb at 800 this year then this will be the last time i race over the distance this year and next summer i will concentrate on longer races. if, as i hope i do, i manage a pb over 800 then i will give it another season. i've also thought about acquiring my self a bike and entering dome duathlon races, but that would be a winter thing and would only be logistically possible after i have passed my driving test
