training is in full flow now, races are coming thick and fast, we have the national cross country relays on saturday at mansfield, there will be a few more 10k's and half marathons before christmas time, but its not certain that i will find any that i will be able to get to, but i would like to have a crack at my 10k pb before christmas time, but like i have said before the biggest question is passing my driving test on monday, which will make life a whole lot easier, and give me a lot more choice in terms of the venues i can race at etc.
coombe dingles session on tuesday was a toughie with a six minute rep, 3x3 minutes, followed by 2 minutes short recovery 1 minute three times, three times 1 minute and finally a four minute rep. my legs were still tired from sunday, until about three hours before the session, and i that made me regret the decision not to do the bridge inn race on he same evening, but sods law i suppose, if i had elected to do it i probably wouldn't have recovered in time. so it was probably the right decision to have a confidence boosting cross contry sess, where if i had run badly it would have been harder for me to tell because all of our efforts are measured against the clock rather than in distance.
on a different note we have finally had the proposals for the industrial dispute tabled for us and the cwu has recommended that we vote yes to accept the new proposals and end the dispute. all of this could have been avoided if the royal mail had listenend to what we had to say in the fisrt place rather than obstinately deciding they were going to make sweeping instantanous cuts under the banner of 'modernaisation', which we all know it wasn't really, accross the board, putting people in fear of losing their pensions and their jobs. i still think its very odd how adam crozier and alan leighton could justify saying that we were underworked and over paid, yet they are paid £2.7 million each per annum and only work about two days a week. its also odd how the pension deficit didn't affect their own company pensions. still even with an agreement, theres no way either of them will get a christmas card from me or 190,000 other union members. they might get a piece of dog shit through the post or some thing like that though....on a happier note though they'll be gone in a couple of years probably with a cool couple of million in bonuses and a pat on the back for 'a job well done' and some one else can come in and fuck it up even more
