Hello all.

Its been a pretty crap few days for me. I have not felt right since Sunday, headache, high pulse, tired etc................ so 3 days have gone by with no running at all. I think I may have a virus of some sort, though my pulse was a more respectable 46 this morning, so with a bit of luck I will be able to do a light run tomorrow. With the relays being so close I really don't want to risk anything as I have been a ever present in the South and National relays since joining the Bels about 7 years ago. Great to see Milesy tearing the roads up again and will be a star player in our relays team for sure.

Goolab is travelling down to Aldershot to join up with the GB team for a training week, and is under strict instructions not to over do things. Spenny B and Phil Nicholls will keep an eye on him for me - he won't get much fitter now as the race is only 10 days away. I have told him to stay out there if anyone beats him without any spikes on. Once the relay's are finished and Nick has had a small rest we will start preparing for the track season. This will mean 2 track sessions some weeks which will include - one long session and one short faster session, as Goolab will be running mainly 800/1500's, and I always like to keep a bit of speed going.

I will post a small update tomorrow if I manage a run as I know there will be a hole load of people having sleepless night worrying if I'm OK or not.
