Sunday Blues

I'm still reflecting on a really disappointing day yesterday. I felt like I let the team and North Yorkshire as a whole down as well as Mum and Dad who came all the way to watch. On the other hand, I was simply very unlucky and had things gone my way, in terms of not having had a cold in the build up and having not been tripped in the race twice (!), the complexion may have been completley different. I could have been feeling proud today with a really good performance behind me which saw me beat many of my fellow rivals. Instead I have a load of muddy clothes/shoes, some cuts on my knees and a big fat DNF. Still, time to put that behind me now and look towards School Cross Country on Wednesday which is the last race of the season (thank god!).
Today I did a weights session and a bike ride. Nothing too spectactular, just around 45 minutes on the weights and an hour on the road bike, but felt good in both. I will go out tomorrow for a run of some sort (maybe a hard session) as I haven't run properly now since last Sunday when I had that superb run over the 8 mile long run. Boy that seems a long time ago. This time last week I was really up for the English Schools race itself after such a good training session and thought I was in the form of my life. How quickly things change.
