Keep your eyes open, folks

Yep, it can happen!

Running on a beach at dusk in Tunisia I was bitten by a rabid dog. Obviously I didn't know it was rabid at the time but it was confirmed the next morning.

Injections direct into the stomach muscle on a daily basis was the result - I could hardly walk!

And when you re-enter the country you have quite a routine to go through - from Gatwick I was taken straight to the North Thames Tropical Diseases centre, I wasn't given a choice!

Hey Poor,

I was going to head down there myself but opted for a night in under the duvet eating chocolate...

Its even worse on Sat - I've got to get up at 5am so I can run before catching my train at 7.30! Eeeeek

Having just had my entry for the Leeds Abbey Dash returned due to oversubscription (!!!!!! thats never happened outside the London before!!!!!) I've been having a little look around for other possible races.

Interestingly, I came across a series of races which may be of interest to other people:

Distance: 5km
Entry Fee : FREE
When: EVERY Saturday at 9am
Venues: Bushy, Wimbledon, Banstead, Richmond, Brighton, Leeds, Cardiff, Bramham, Middlesbrough, Basingstoke, Glasgow
Entry Method: Online registration by Friday 6pm

These are a great idea to use either as a) a regular quality session or b) a way of checking how training is going or c) a regular training run

In terms of standards - the results for Leeds last week showed times from 17mins to 40mins so that pretty much covers the full range of abilities.

My garmin 405 has just been delivered. I have had a sneaky peek but I am not allowed to have it until my birthday at the weekend.

I must justify being able to set it all up ahead of my birthday, so that I don't spend half of sunday reading instructions - I do want to be able to just head out and run with it on the day!

None of those races are near me, either - otherwise I think I would def be doing some of them - especially as they are FREE!!!
