A lovelly day, for a rest.

After running on Saturday instead of today, it was almost disappointing to not get time to get out into the sun for at least a gentle mooch about...

I see that the FLM entries are back open again - but this time haven't filled up straight away. I was wondering if they are going to accept more people than usual as opening the ballot 4 months earlier and advertising it during the TV coverage of the event will probably mean more people entering and more accepted entires falling by the wayside.

The fact that 80,000 applied in the first 34 hours (last year about 90,000 applied over the whole ballot) shows that either the magazine was harder to find than I thought, or that there's a lot of apathy when it comes to applying. If the applications are put on a plate in front of people then there's a rush. If you need to find a magazine then there's less of a rush. Doesn't bode well for some of those people actually getting out and training!
