February has arrived

The Goring 10K results have been published: 192/876 overall, 125/357 in class (although the latter excludes all the people in the older classes that beat me…). Quite gratifying. It turns out that my arch-nemesis, who I burned off in the home straight, was the winner (of 3 entrants) of the Ladies Masters (60+). Mrs Jeffery, I salute you.

The football season ended on Tuesday with a bit of a whimper: St Andrew’s had comfortably won their catchup game, but lost 5-4 to the divisional runners-up, so finished third and missed out on promotion. I turned out for St Mary’s, but the opposition didn’t turn up, so we played amongst ourselves – a lesser workout than usual. I now realise that it was a dead rubber – we and they were consigned respectively to 4th and 5th (of 8) anyway. Spring season starts straight away next week. Apparently we might be putting out a third team as well.

February summary:

Actual miles: 29.25 + 3 football
Planned miles: there is no plan

Reading Half is 5 weeks away. March will see some double-figure runs. You can wing a 10K, but a half is likely to find you out.
