broken promises

i mentioned to martin greenwood last night about posting the report from my latest laboratory test to this blog and he said i could possibly do it by copying and pasting it. however ;ooking at the email they sent me this option doesn't appear to be possible (the actual report it self is an email attatchment) so if any one knows how to do this than please feel free to contact mr computer illiterate here. since i last posted on here i have done two track sessions and a couple of 8 or 9 mile steady runs. the first session was 800 short recovery 400 and the second was 3x 4x400. the second one was run at a slightly faster pace mainly using it as a tune up for mondays race. the same distance but the extra recovery made a hell of a difference to how my legs felt the next day. on wednesday after the legs were particularly sore on friday they felt almost like i hadn't done any thing hard the previous night, which is the way it should be during the track season if there is an important race coming up because you don't want to leave your best performances behind in training and have nothing left for races.

i was asked to run in a club league match today but i declined. something that didn't endear me or mike to the track and field team manager but in this sport you have to look after yourself and you can't expect others to do it for you other wise they will take advantage and i'm determined not to let that happen. the races in the leagues are generally low key affairs with some times as few as two or three people competing, not good for fast times but it may mean that i win some later on in the year as i will be doing some of them-just not on this occasion.
