So I went to the track on Thursday and did 4 x 800m + 1 x 400m intervals plus warm up and cool down obv. Sounds like a fairly easy session right? Wrong!

Then yesterday I walked 2 miles because I put the car in the garage for new tyres and walked the rest of the way to work.

And the rest of my weekend has been given over to my other sport - archery. I shot well today (534 for a Portsmouth), and have a competition tomorrow.  This means I'll have to:

a) go for a run in the dark on Monday morning before work

b) buy a treadmill in the next couple of days

c) join the gym on Monday  or

d) miss out a session

What do you reckon?
