600's yesterday 69's tomorrow

final training session before the trip to amsterdam tomorrow, four nights oflying on my back and thinking of england...the session last night was a down and up the clock session. two 600's lap jog recovery, 4x300 lap jog recovery 2x500. i hit the target times for all of the repetitions that i did so i was quite pleased with that...a sure indication that i can go under 4:30 come tuesday night. the next challenge for me is to find some where to run around amsterdam. i have no doubt that there will be plenty of parks that i can go around of an evening time but we'll have to wait and see on that one.

the next bit of news is that after a few years of promising my self that i would do it, i have booked myself in for a VO2 maximal effort test on tuesday the 20th of november at a cost of £108. a lot of money i know but money well spent if it helps to point me in the right direction. some people have said to me its a waste of money, but people like jo pavey, helen clitheroe, paula radcliffe, mo farah, et al all use them quite regularly and find them quite useful. its a long way off i know but when you're a reserve post man working for the royal mail, its can be quite hard to get time off when you need it.

which brings me on to the next subject. front page of the daily mirror yesterday, our pension funds being slashed/raided while the managers pension fund will remain unaffected (isn't that a coincidence, why do the people at ground level always pay for the errors of the top lavel managers?). all i am saying is that yet again crozier and leightons true colours have been shown in spite of all their posturing and denials and other bullshit that comes out of their mouths. like the now infamous "we'll have you on £400 a week asap" they told us last year. make your own minds up....
