Confessions

Dear Coach,

Thank you ever so much for putting my new training plan together. It's a comprehensive plan full of good ideas to get me moving more quickly and I feel sure it will do the trick. I am really looking forward to putting it into practice. It would be true to say my new plan was scheduled to commence today and I had every intention of making sure it did.

Therefore it is with much sadness that I have to report that I have fallen at the first hurdle. I am on holiday from my job but I have been somewhat involved in my voluntary role today and I did not get in from this task until 5.30 p.m. Driving home along the busy M5 I was still hoping that I would make it to track at 6.30 p.m. Unfortunately the key went in the lock and my bottom sat on the sofa and there it has stayed.

I am very disappointed with myself. I shall copy and paste a thousand lines of remorse for my inability to complete day one. Tomorrow is another day and I will try and do some speed work by myself.

Please forgive me.

I will try harder.

Yours sincerely,
