I was very surprised to get an email from Jacki Brace at Welsh athletics asking if I would like to represent Wales on the 18th May in Manchester for my first Welsh vest of 2008! What with the problems that I have had over the past few months I really felt as if I might have had my best times and that I wouldn't be offered another place again. How wrong I was and how good it feels. It is so satisfying just to be asked and the fact that I have been asked so early in the season is even better.
My training continues to progress and I have upped the mileage a little this week, having done nearly 75 miles this week. I'm not really trying for any speed, I am just trying to get the mileage in so that I can get my injury used to the longer distance. So far (fingers crossed) I have been okay with the increased mileage, and can honestly say that I am enjoying my sessions again, maybe its down to the nice weather.
I now have about four weeks until the Manchester run, so I will maintain the distance, but try a few speed sessions as well in an attempt to return to full fitness.
