The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves

While the final run up to my goal is definitely not the time to be saying this, I seem to have rather lost the plot. Things went a bit wrong when we didn't get back on time and I couldn't do my last planned long run. I've been struggling to get out there, finding it hard work when I am out there and generally suffering a crisis of confidence and motivation. Still, I gave myself a serious talking to and am determined to sort it out and to give it my best shot. I didn't put all that work in and dedication over the winter to lose it all now. I've been eating less well than I should and feeling heavy and slow when I run - go figure, but I'm back on track now. So, I'm afraid this is going to be an update list again, boring, I know.
