w/c 29th Jan - Another good week

Monday - rest day
Tuesday - Great club session - 2 v hilly fig of 8's at Burwardsley. I was out in front - ran really well. 9 miles all in.
Weds - 7 miles with Alison, briskish pace at Wrexham Ind Est. Av 7.20 pace felt a bit ill (stomach) but wore off.
Thursday - 10 miles at the club - really hard efforts which were good, but then i was jaded for the next part of the session. Flat running so no chance to show off progress on the hills!
Fri - Easy 4 mile plod - probably junk miles but good to get work issues out of ny head,
Sat - 10M 3100' climbing - jogged around the Clywdian Hills route. Felt good on a lovely cold day. Views tremenous. Ate Rocky bars and those Ainsley Harriot wafer things - Rocky bars seem to be winning through.
Sun - 7.5M (inc 6M road race - 37.19) - Borders League at West Cheshire. Finished 65th from 263 in closed race series - my best ever position, which is commendable after yesterday's (in fact, this week's) efforts. 2nd in for the club - not bad going (a few quick uns missing mind!).
Total for the week - 48miles, @4000' climbing (held off on climbing due to big week next week, with hill days on Monday and Sunday).
Also, Jen Taylor has booked us the Achille Ratti climbing hut for use during the BGR - fantastic. Having a hut on Dunmail Raise, actually en route, is terrific. Jen has also booked a hut and organised (with Sarah) the food for the forthcoming February weekend in the Lakes to recce and enjoy! Nice one Jen!
Have emailed everyone (bar Ian) who i;ve got set out to do fell support. Some have already come back saying they are happy with their leg.
It's starting to come together now, and I'm running better than I've ever run. Time to get those long days in.
