I'm back!!!

Yes, I'm back in blogland. Sorry for the few months hiatus, it's been a busy time for various reasons, but I promise to try to keep you all updated on my adventures from now on!

So what's been going on? I've been busy with work, studying at Oxford university, started coaching a ladies only community running group, been to Headley Court to see a specialist for my hernia, blew to pieces at the Interservices duathlon champs, busy coaching a few marathon runners, started resettlement training and just completed a level 2 Gym Instructor course........ so all in all, I've been a little busy!

I'm racing with my running club this weekend in the Castles Relay, essentially it's running the length of Wales, 200+ miles over 2 days, 20 stages and 59 teams, starting at Caernarfon Castle on Saturday morning and finishing on Sunday afternoon at Cardiff Castle. It's quite a prestigious club race, so I'm pleased I was able to make the team, I hope I won't let them down. My leg is leg 18, 9.1 miles from Merthyr Tydfil to Abercynon, mainly flat with quite a few downhill sections, so in theory it's a fast leg. We'll see how it goes on race day, but hopefully the weather will be better than today and we'll see some fast times from all of the San Domenico club runners!

Train smart all!

Hello Frank. My name is Sags. I am on holiday for 4 months but not really enjoying it that much. I would send you a post card but they don't sell them here. Maybe I will bring you back a pressy!

A prissy sounds good! :-)
