Getting nearer.

So all going well I will be a dad for the first time this month, although Goolab has said I'm like a father to him on more than one occasion - mainly after a few barcardi breezers. Its pretty scary stuff as its just been me and Maria for the last 14 years or so, but I'm sure we will be fine and Maria won't have to many problems looking after us both.

Training has gone well since the relays and its looking like a pretty big mileage week for me with a few light sessions chucked in. Its still early days under Lindsay Dunne, but I do feel I'm heading in the right direction and starting to feel good again. I have no real race plans after the relays as the baby will be here, although I hope to run in the Brighton 10k which I do every year as its sponsored by Brooks and I like to race for them and meet the team as much as possible. They are a great bunch and have supported me so much during the last 4 years and they have also taken on Goolab - thanks so much guys. 

Talking about Goolab - he has been called up to run at the Gatshead cross race for England. He will contest the junior race which will be a good indicater of fitness. We will use the cross relays first as a sharpener which fits in perfect.
