I reach my first proper* race of the year as I go to Elgin for the 10k on Sunday. Also we are going to take a few days holiday up visiting my parents in Elgin before that.
Since we are through in Elgin on the Thursday night I am planning to go along to the MorayRoadrunners Club session. I suspect I may end up doing more coaching than training but at the very least I will get in a few miles of jogging each way to the track and I can always turn that into a longer route if I want to add some miles in.
Next week the target numbers are scheduled to drop again as I move to shorter and faster on the bike. And despite missing Sunday I still broke 70 miles last week, so I have no problems with cutting this week down to a single ride even if that likely means missing the set weekly target.
*Cross-Country races don't count as I only do them for fun**.
** I know they aren't really fun but they are supposedly good for you***. I suppose the idea being that if you can survive running around for 6 miles in snow, rain and mud that anything on a sunny day with a nice surface will be easy?
*** I have never really believed they were good for you, but as I was writing this I realised they gave me an option to leave the most fitting tribute that I could manage to Terry Pratchett. If you don't understand you need to go and read some of his excellent work.
