the end of the winter

i have now officially reached the end of my winter training period. i feel as though i have learned a few things about myself this winter which in all honesty if you had told me in september i would have slapped you for lying to me. i have learnt that i can run on the cross country-proof being the gold medal that i achieved in december at the county championhips...i have learnt that i am most emphatically not a half marathon runner 5k's and 10k's are my strongest distance. i have also learnt that i have an annoying habit of saving my best performances for bad conditions. and have also learnt that it is not just about running pb's although they're nice. good performances in bad conditions and beating people can be very satisfying although there is onebloke that keeps on finishing one place in front of me all the time.

after missing out on the relays due to work commitment i a still currently unaware of how we got on and whether or not we qualified two teams for the national 12 stage. if we didnt i will be doing a 3000m race at bath on the day in 26th instead. and hopefully i'm gonna get a car sorted out this week...
