Munnki, the road club I am a member of recruited me for x-country, but I can never make the dates... and they don't do anything else but run on the roads of Hereford, which does not interest me. I am therefore changing to another road club that actually has proper trainers and does hill and speed sessions on a Tuesday night, a night I can catually make. I will obviousy stay a member of my fell club, but I can't make their training sessions on the Wednesday, as I teach yoga on Weds... but I do feel the need for some structured stuff... I never do it on my own, find it really hard, so am trying out this other club :-)

LOL bigmunnki. liking the idea that it's 3 laps of anywhere, even if it's tesco's car park. Gobi - yeah, I got that (tho many hundreds of places further down than you) in the East District league one a couple weeks back. But the other way round 1min 30 s faster but not much higher up the rankings. That is either a. it was a shorter/easier course or b. a higher standard field and yes I am improving. Needless to say I'm going with b!

Ellem and Mr Ellem were taking photos at today's one. Look forward to seeing the pics (not!)

Looks like I am on my own at x-mas and NY, unless I decide to go to India again... or alternatively, I could spend a week in the Lakes, recce-ing :-)

This is me at XC today. I'm going to have the publishers of FHM knocking the door down after seeing me running up this hill.
