Felt tired Monday and Tuesday so did not run.  Had to go to a meeting Wednesday.

Thursday I led interval training with the Doncaster Pacers / Doncaster AC.  The more able did 800m relay for 35 minutes (1 on 1 off) and the less experienced did 500m relay for 25 minutes.  We did this session around by lakeside and I ended up doing 3 miles, my mile splits were 5:15, 5:33 and 5:26.

Friday did not run.

Saturday I ran the parkrun with James Smith, Dave Sedgwick and Jay Buxton nice and steady in trail shoes, saving myself for South Yorkshire Cross Country on Sunday.  Splits were 6:22, 6:29 and 6:20.
Sunday I too part in the third South Yorkshire Cross Country league.  I arrived on site at 8am and helped to set it up, I then took photos of the athletes, ran around with my youngest daughter, and sold numbers.  I then passed my camera to John Micklewaite and I ran in the Senior men’s race.  I probably ran my best ever cross country race doing the course some 2 and a half minutes quicker than last year.  I was able to keep with DAC club legend Kev Newman.  I then helped tidy up the course.
