Nice easy week running wise. Very busy at work with lots going on. Another busy week planned ahead with lots of teaching, meetings and an awards night. Going to do a session of 12 x 1min on Tuesday at sometime. Question is when to fit it in. Hopefully by the end of next week I will be recovered enough from the marathon and planning out training for the European Championships. The last couple of years after the London Marathon I have dived back in to racing and done the Great Manchester Run. I like this event because it's in my home city and the atmosphere is always excellent, but this time I am playing it sensible and not doing the race. Looking forward to going down to Manchester next Saturday and Sunday to watch the various events on these days.
