Memo to self...

Wellington Hill is for driving up not running up.

On the plus side having felt really awful for several months and failed to go much beyond 5km my sinus problems have started to clear and the remnants of my recent illnesses have been getting quieter and being able to breathe allowed me to manage 11km in an hour and 2 mins yesterday including the above mentioned hill and felt okay. I also read the GNR magazine which told me that if I can't do 8 miles comfortably that I should defer until next time...d'oh! Tempting though that option is them plane tickets ain't gonna refund themselves now are they so I'll guess I shall still see you all there.

If I am feeling brave I may post a pic of me a la Rab in my RNLI vest but I am not sure it will encourage any sponsorship.
