a great weekend down in brighton

it was good to get away from everything for a weekend away in brighton this weekend and for this i must firstly give a shout to jon and scott for hosting me and martin g for a very relaxing weekend. not sure when the next time i'll be down is but i'll hope to be down in the summer some time. but really i have to visit scotland some time as ewan and kelli want me to come and visit their new addition to the world, isaac, who was born at 6:47 on the 14th of april, so massive congratulations to them and i'm sure they will both prove to be fantastic parents...

on another non running subject i have decided to do the pass plus course in the old motor which should help to massively reduce my insurance premiums. having seen some of the prices that people are quoting on the internet the extra £150 seems like a worthwhile investment. even if i don't get that much money back in the first year, it gives you a lot more confidence for things like motorway driving and country driving etc

running wise these are the plans for the summer-1500-sub 4:30, 3000, sub 9:30 5000, sub 17:00. i would also like to try abd establish more of a profile locally as we get towards the cross country season and maybe get closer to winning a county vest, which is my long term aim. but with andrew hennesey, james thie, rob whalley, ben tickner, frank tickner, ben noad, craig peters jon wills all ahead of me in the avon and somerset pecking order and established international athletes i think i may need to move else where to get one!
