Monday 9th February:           Missed my long run yesterday due to racing so did 75 mins today.  Was cold, but felt ok.  Legs a little heavy but went not too bad and felt better as the run went on.

Tuesday 10th February:         am: 40mins easy, legs felt heavy and didn't feel the best to be honest.

                                          pm: Track 6 x 400 off 2 mins alternating 58/56  It was freezing about -3 so trying to run fast is really tough.  Still managed 59.0, 56.5, 58.3, 56.7, 58.0, 56.2.  Was happy enough, although it was quite tough and not sure I could have run any quicker given the conditions.

Wednesday 11th February:      60mins steady.  Legs were heavy, probably from last night and struggled a little, needed to stop half way for the toilet and just felt a bit ropey!  Weather was rubbish again, normal route had flooded as far as the eye could see on the flood plains so had to change route.

Thursday 12th February:         am: 30mins steady, was better than the last couple of runs so that is a bonus. 

                                           pm: Track in the snow (started to snow at 3 and had about 3 inches by 6pm.)  Went to the track armed with shovel, spade and broom!  As quick as I could clear a lane on the track though it was resettling! Was also going to do 100's then an 800 effort in 1.54.  Couldn't do that, so did 3 x 8 x 100 off 15 secs again(seem to be doing this alot recently!)  Almost running in a blizzard, running back into the wind and snow couldn't really open your eyes!  Not the ideal preparation for the Nationals but happy to have got something done.  Was also really good to have company!  Some of the local guys turned up and we all ran together, then I won the snowball fight!!

Friday 13th February:            30mins easy
