a bad day at the office

As i mentioned in my previous post it was just me and craig peters for this afternoons session and as it turned out we both ran an well below par. he was timed at 11:48 his best is 11:26 and i was timed at 13:36 11 seconds down on my best. i could feel him breathing down my neck the whole way around, which was never a good sign psychologically, even though he clearly wasn't ther (only speaking with hindsight there) as he was only just getting back in to the sports complex when i crossed the line, but i could sense him catching me all the time, but he was barely in sight, or should i say i was barely in his sight. his mums dogs wanted to join in our session but unfortunately being furry with four legs usually means having no road sense and thinking that you can just cut people up without excusing yourself and stopping to piss in the middle of the road. they would have good speed though if nothing else. for both of us it was a case that this session came just too soon after thursday nights exertions. the fitness is there for both of us but we both had too much fatigue in our legs to get the extra bit of zip. with good quality rest it will be there by next week though providing we don't go mad on tuesday. its just a case of making sure our legs are a) fresh and b) ticking over eg we don't overdo the inactivity.
