Has been an up and down week. Not exactly what I had planned, but still thinking positive. Things have to really start happening work wise and I just have to get out there and put my thoughts into action. Not as easy as it sounds though.
Had a couple of days off training this week and I don't like the way I feel when I don't do anything. My legs stiffen up very quickly(tight hamys). I just can't get into sprinting when they are like that. Takes me forever to warm up.
Really bad news about my sprint coach. He had a stroke and died last week. his funeral was on Thursday. He was in his 80's, so he had a good long life and was very active..He was such a dedicated person to our training. Always there for us, rain hail or shine, 3 mornings a week and Sunday as well. After he finished our training he would always do his own bit of training. I miss him already. He was one for always saying what he thought. When I first joined the group he said to me " you would actually run a lot better if you lost a stone in weight". Well I did lose that stone and I did run better. I never took offence at what he said and he always said to me that I had a big heart. Meaning that I may be one of the slower runners but I always have a go at everything and never give up. He was always full of encouragement. I guess I will always now run with him in mind.

I have to keep reminding myself to plan, plan, plan and do as I say. Yes!!!
