Sat 8th
It was a beautiful sunny day as I set out on a long steady run over the big s
and dune paths and through the pinewoods. 3/4 way into the run I noticed I could no longer feel my tongue it had become some what dehydrated, the sensation felt kind of scary.Anyway I finished with 2 hours 11 mins and the first thing I did as got home was to drink a cool pint of water, aaah a pint of beer would have been nicer BUT....
Barry's put me through a tough week, what with 3 hard sessions plus a speed session. Next week sees me
Race the Final Haigh Hall 4 mile hill race of the summer, this is also a club Grand Prix race Grand Prix Table[ I'm still leading the club G.P. by default, which is a bit embarrassing As I'm in charge of the G.P. this year].After that there will be some more hard training before my major target THE HARROCK HILL RACE later in the month.

That's a solid week Rick. Barry's a tough coach! I guess the pints of beetroot juice you've been drinking helps the recovery.
Love that photo of Percy leading Herb up the sandhills.
HI EWEN,
A mate once lent me one of Percy's books, it was a great read and I often think of him and his gang of runners as I blast up and down my local the sand dunes.
