decisions decisions

i am still having trouble decinding what races to do over the winter. favourites are likely to be the swindon half marathon and the bath half marathon for starters along with the weston prom 5 milers and the bridge inn 5k. the only problem with the swindon half is that it is just one week after the oldbury on severn 10 miles, which also doubles up as the avon championships, which i would also like to race. were i to do that race as well it would undoubtedly have a big impact on my legs which could leave me recovering for a long time. the half marathon will probably take precedence were it come down to a decision. i have also made my self available for the north somerset road relay championships and the midland road relays for the club. i could do it for the national as well but i am loathe to book a day off work for that when i probably wont be needed for it. having said that, i wouldn't want a similar situation to last time when i said i wouldn't be needed, and ended up being needed but having food poisoning.

talking about illnesses, it only 21st of august and i think i have my first cold of the year, but unusually for the first one it isn't one that has brouight the rest of my life to a crippling halt (yet). don't want to tempt fate on that one though, it would be just my luck if i did get that at the most inconvenient point of the season. run and weights tonight still though followed by an huge meal and hopefully an early night and a good nights sleep! cheerio!
