Heard a good Freudian slip on the radio today. A senior Metropolitan Police Officer was being interviewed about their decision to put more police back on the street. “The great majority of police officers will be happy not to use cars”, he said. “They much prefer community beating.”
Decided against running today, donating the saved energy to the Silverstone fund instead. I’m not going to reach my medium-term target of 2:10 this Sunday, but I need to take a positive step up from the 2:30 that I’ve hovered around in my three previous halfs. As there are three halfs in three weeks, I’m hoping to take this first one fairly sedately but get in below 2:20. If I do, I’ll be happy, and might even be able to think about hitting my target at Reading or Bath.
I finally got round to creating the RunningCommentary forum on the site last night. It’s going to be a long haul to customise it how I want it to be, but I think it’s worth doing. The plan is to make the site much more interactive than it has been, and this seems like a good way of kick-starting the process. Please do call in and post a message or ask a question. You don’t have to register, but if you do you’ll find that you instantly knock 30 seconds off your current pace. Trust me.
