I have made Rob & Carol honorary members of the speedygeese. Well why not? They will run with us again one day.

what me exercise?

Too many events at the track?
... not just because one has to make a choice, but because runners spreading themselves across these events result in smaller fields. I am a fan of having just one distance race on the program that everyone is likely to compete in. Few agree with me, not a problem.

Tonight I shall probably run the first 3000m race. If I happen to go in any later event it will be a totter rather than a run. On offer - 3000m, 400m, 1500m, 4x400m, another 3000m, 5000m.

shoes too large

Taking the plunge
Training is going well. So I have now entered 15 April’s Ultra Marathon!
Risky I know. If tomorrow I report my first injury of the year, you will know why.

I'd sooner stay in today, thanks
