I was quite sad last week as I found out I had been rejected from the VLM ballot - it was only with that rejection I realised how much I wanted to be part of it again. Of all the people I know who entered the ballot none of them got in. In fact all the people I have met who ran the VLM got in on a charity place. These golden bonds are great but it adds a whole new layer of pressure trying to fundraise a couple of grand as you also train most of your life away. I would never be able to take a charity place again, people were so generous this year I just couldn't ask again.
Yesterday was slow, long run day as I'm building up for the GSR at the end of the month and it was cold! The past few weekends were lovely with our late Indian Summer, but this week all of that changed. I missed the rain but it was still cold and took me hours to warm up once I got in - and it's not even winter yet. It was then I saw the plus side to not getting a VLM place - I wouldn't have to train in the winter and freeze!
