i managed to push through the pin barrier last night

i hope this isn't yet another example of me doing it in training but not in a race. did the 4k loop round coombe dingle which i managed in 14:17. well some one said they measured it to be exactly 4k, but i expect that to be some what of a mis truth, i reckon 4.1 is nearer the truth. not sure what my fastest time round there is but i reckon it's faster than that. will get a better idea when i do the weston race tomorrow night. the time works out at 3:34 per kilometer, which equates to about 17:50 over a 5k and i just know i'm faster than that at the moment. we'll see though.

next week when i go back to work i will start doing the weight training again, but it will be leg weights only this time. i have a book on weight training for runners tucked away at home some where and i intend to consult it. the problem with the upper body stuff is that i bulk up too easily but any thing on the legs is bound to be beneficial. my legs though are still sore from the pounding they took last night to do any thing hard today. i've been out once today already and i will again tonight but recovery runs can some times seem harder than the sessions themselves and that was certainly the way it felt today
