i'm sticking to my promises

twice a day so far this week-even if yesterday morning was only 20 minutes. mind you though i "sessioned" in the evening at coombe dingle so its ok. i did flunk the last 2 minute rep (the session was an up and down the clock session 6 minutes, 2mins recovery, 4 mins, 1:30 recovery, 2 mins, 1 minute rcovery, then the same but in reverse, followed by a 2 minute rep at the end). my legs were still in the process of recovering from the ultra tough wiltshire 10k on sunday. two huge hills in the middle and start of the race put paid to any hope of a fast time. i was running 3:36 ks comfortably til then. until i was confronted by these monsters. one of them was bigger and steeper than the hill that john martin and that other "runner" scott roberts lived on in brighton (or rather scott still does) and the other one was about the same. the bigger one was steeper than that and by the time i had it out the way it was a question of just holding on. that and the wind meant you weren't gaining much on the down hills. but weather permitting brighton is a chance of a fast time and i intend to take it
