Tonight, I wrote a difficult email. It was a bit like saying, "I'm a failure", but it was a lot like saying, "I'm sensible, I'm looking ahead, and I know where I'm going and I know what I want to achieve"
I sent the email to William and Shaun and the email title was "Clyde Stride". I basically said that I didn't want to wing it... and in only 12 weeks time, I would definitely be winging it! I want to enter an ultra and totally believe in myself, believe I will finish it and believe I will do well... at the moment I won't even get my XL vest back on within my training time. That is not a good build up in my opinion!
So, I have asked their opinion on doing Amsterdam marathon in October purely as a training run... 25 minutes run and 5 minutes walk! The plan (in my head) is that I complete my first ultra after this time! I've just sent the email, so I have no idea what their thinking is on this... let's put it this way, they are WAY more clued up than me and their views on this are important to me.
So, I told Graeme (who clearly couldn't give a shit) that I have no intention of going to Glasgow as I will be taking my holiday form at work out... I then thought better of it and said I would keep the Friday off so I could still go with him, and his answer was that he was very thankful as he knows how important this race was to me. That just annoyed me to be honest, and I could have knocked him out. Apparently he wants to do as many ultra races a year as he is able... I can't help thinking he's just a bit of a tosser!!!
