England Vest!!

So the big news for me is that I have been selected to run for England at the Masters Home International Cross-Country Champs, taking place in Derrry (Northern Ireland) in 3 weeks time!! It's the first time I have been picked after a couple of reserve places in previous years. This is something I have been working towards since I first entered the M35 Masters ranks. I'm not the most talented runner, but I know that I work hard and have consistently put in the training over the past 15 years and feel that this is the payoff. I've tried to adopt the mantra that I should always do one more rep, and always push myself rather than settling and it seems to have worked. After this race though, I'm going to have to find some new targets so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them?

Over in Northern Ireland I will be wearing the Adidas XCS as it provides just the right level of cushioning and support but in a lightweight package. Happy running!!
