Tomorrow is New Mills 'prom' night where all the Y11 boys and girls will head off to Manchester Citys stadium (well actually it belongs to the council...) for a night of celebration - I'm not sure if I like the way this Americanism is taking over nor do I like the expense that goes with it - limo's, expensive dresses - but hey that's the society we are part of and I am sure Amber will have a great night - I think all I did when I left school was get pissed and throw eggs and flour !
Its been a great week of training - despite the torrential downpour the Stockport Harriers group got caught in on Tuesday. Wednesday was a planned rest day as it was also the Offerton 10K race and thankfully the weather was kind for the race, numbers were slightly lower than normal but we will blame the mens Wimbledon quarter final for that, I wouldn't mind but Andy Murray isn't even English !
The plan for Thursday and Friday was to travel down to Snowdon and do a recce of the course for the Snowdon International which is at the end of this month, unfortunately the travel plans fell through and despite looking at re-arranging it for Saturday/Sunday it was decided to sack it totally for this weekend as the weather is planned to be awful Saturday and Sunday - never mind we will see if we can sneak in a day up Snowdon before the race.
Instead we did a hard track session last night - 16 x 400m with alternate ones as efforts (fastest 78s, slowest 86s, the rest bang on 85s) with the recovery 400s round about 110s.
Friday I need to get out into the hills - so Kinder here I come.
