Your World Recruitment Agency.

One thing I will never get used to is the British weather! Training was going really well and I was looking forward to more road work when BAM! the weather suddenly changed. I was almost blown off the track by gale force winds and driving rain, and was forced back indoors for yet more sessions on the rollers and sweating in the gym. I really look forward to Spring and hopefully much better conditions because the serious competitions are only weeks away from starting and my goal is to be in peak condition.

As an athlete it's great to have strong support behind you and I have that with my family and my coach. However, wheelchair racing is a relatively expensive sport to participate in so I am delighted to have support from Your World Recruitment Agency. A few weeks ago I was invited to meet their staff and pictured above is 'Your World' CEO Tony. I'd like to thank them all for their help.

Life's A Gas!

It's been quite a difficult week for training because my usual running track at Mark Hall has been inaccessible due to a leaky boiler, so I have been forced to spend more time in the gym and out on the road. Fortunately, whatever was broken has now been fixed and my first track session was yesterday in a howling wind. Not good for speed work but at least I was back on track! After not seeing my coach for so long he greeted me as though I'd just got back from a long trip but he made sure the session was a tough one! He's a hard taskmaster.

I really enjoy doing roadwork though it can be very gruelling pushing ten miles. However, the bit I do enjoy is when I'm cooling down because that's when I meet so many interesting people. For example, last week I met a lady with four gorgeous white dogs. She told me they were Hungarian Commodores called Daz, Kez, Denis, and Oz. They have won several dog shows and are due to appear in another one soon. They took an instant shine to me and wouldn't leave me alone. I was chuffed. It's a shame they couldn't sing,'Three Times A Lady' in Hungarian.

I really learned a lot seeing the granny who took on the Health Minister and heckled him. One day the poor will have nothing to eat but the rich - and then there will be equality!!
