(Photo: David Keal) Rob putting the effort in at Holme Pierrepont Summer League. After a brief meet in the Cricks, the following has been decided... The plan to Christmas is to do 10*300m efforts on Thursday night at the University Campus. This will be up the hill to the Trent Building. After Christmas we head off to the track. We may rotate efforts on Tuesday night between, 1 - 1.5 mile efforts, tempo runs (15 mins - 30 mins) and shorter efforts. Wednesday is a popular night for the mid-week long run; 16 miles. We are going to Nice for the 17 June 2007 Ironman from Thur - Mon, hiring a flat (with a pool), flying from Birmingham or Luton. It will involve road biking and Tuna Nicoise.

As in the title back to the earlier kick off. Possible 9.5 steady or farlek to decide. This Wed for Redhill RR members there is a 1.1 miles relay round Mill Lakes (between Bestwood village and southern bit of Hucknall.

I love running and it can't get better than this! Yesterday during a fast descent after Lord Elliott on Snowdon I hit the ground like a speared duck. Broke my jaw and mangled the shoulder I broke in April. (I've since found a number of other interesting bits - some of it hillside I took home!) A small price to pay for sharing a bivi with four (young) concerned women for 2 hours. Having every whim acted upon without question. Nearly getting a helicopter ride. (Regular updates were received about where it was in various parts of Wales, obviously it was homing in on us by landmark). Having a ride in the engine of a mountain-train whilst the driver of thirty-years explained how dull the job could be. Same sheep apparently. Eating a curry through sealed lips, drinking copious amounts of beer on drugs. And the best bits, relying on friends..Simon did a cracking job of marshalling resources and taking over (had plenty of practice) and I'm now glued, zapped, poked and prodded from ...
