Every week I have a football game on Saturdays but this week I had to play 2 as my sisters team needed a extra player, doing this meant that both days of the weekend where taken which is when my long trainings are planned for, this makes it difficult to try fit in as many as possible to get the best results out of it.

Today I competed in my Thames Valley Cross Country which is the next level from my school event. I went into the race with the mind set of knowing I was capable of doing well but still have competitors with a high ability of doing well as well. This course has one large hill and this year I had to complete this hill two times, the course was muddy slippery and wet, so I knew that it wasn’t going to be a fast timed race.
