turning up the heat

its starting to get hot and summer is well and truly upon us. the pollen count is unfortunately rather high at the moment which means that i am sneezing rather a lot but hopefully that means that when it all clears up i will be running faster. we still havn't done any thing remarkably fast yet no real out and out speed and to me the fact that i am running pb's without having done that demonstrates that a i am in pretty good shape and b i can still get a lot faster. you can never really tel how much faster though until get there, when people ask you how good you will be its like the old proverbial question about 'how longs a piece of string' which you can never truly answer until you get to the end, you can only prophesize about it. i will be happy with what i have done at 800's and 1500's if i get close to 2minutes and 4 minutes respectively but thats a long way in the future for now. i intend to make the most of all the speed i can get out of the shorter distances before i think about new challenges that lie ahead. i do feel as though my strength lies in middle distance road races rather than on the track as i feel as though i lack the speed to be really competitive at 800 meters. the thought of doing a duathlon (but not a triathlon as i can't swim) has often been at the fore front of my mind and maybe its some thing i could become good at who knows?
