a wretched night

i'm back winter training and we are gradually upping the ante ready for the relays to come starting with a trial run out at the north somerset relays at clevedon towns hand staduium on sunday week. there are races going on this weekend with the hsbc cardiff 10k the bristol half marathon and the the bristol mile races, but i wont be doing either of those as i have decided to concentrate on getting my self fit rather than racing too early in the season. the cardiff 10k is too awkward to get to, the bristol half marathon i forgot to get my entry in after changing my mind about doing it, and as for the mile races, it holds to many bad memories for me from the last time i did it (namely being lapped by james thie on a short 5 and a bit lap course and having my coach mike announce it over the tannoy system). so there you have it. thats my excuses for this weekend.
