Easy session before Tynedale 10 Jelly Tea
Add to that lot a generous sprinkling of golf and I know where all of my time is going. It's just no good, I've gotta win the lottery because there's not enough time in the week for all my activities and work, not unless they develop my idea for a 10 day metric week with a 4 day weekend.
Not too bad on the speed front anyways, just not enough mileage, but at least I survived last Sunday's strollers session, which means I'll definitely survive the Tynedale Jelly Tea (10 mile) race tomorrow.
On the GNR front I've received my number which has me in zone B again. I'll be doing it fancy dress (which my sis is constructing) so I'll post some pictures when its ready. I'm gonna look bloody ridiculous but it's all for fun and the atmosphere on the day!
Happy running folks!
