    All good here thanks Angela.  Running during the school holidays and hubby's regatta season is always a challenge so I take it where I can.  Have been loving the hot weather and the light evenings - never done so much off-road running in my life!

    No defined goals at present - I'm going to start training an ex-rower (who's a very fit cyclist) for 10K runs as he wants to get into Olympic-distance triathlon next year.  I've also signed up for swimming lessons with him - not because I have any desire to do a triathlon myself, but it's been a goal of mine for a while to improve my swimming as I am such a bad swimmer and my fitness levels should indicate otherwise - so it's down to poor breathing and technique.  My son has swimming lessons on Saturday mornings and they also offer adult classes at the same place on Monday evenings so I'm signed up from September.  Eek.

    So thinking about a 10K in October to put my friend through his paces and see what we need to work on, then maybe Stevenage Half Marathon in November (boring place, probably boring course - but close to home so no travel issues).  Or I might ditch the 10K and do a 10-miler instead as they're on the same day.

    Been doing a lot of hill work and it seems to be paying off - breezed round a very hilly run in Epping Forest this morning with running buddies (lots of the Orion route plus a few extra hills thrown in for good measure!)

    Other than that, looking forward to going on holiday to Spain in a couple of weeks.  This year I'm leaving the running gear behind and having the proper rest I should have had post-Halstead but didn't because I was annoyed with myself and didn't feel I deserved a break!
