A new year PB was heavily dependent on being much lighter than I am at the moment, but so be it. The Ragdale trip, beneficial though it was, has capsized my routine. My fault for letting it, and I will get back on track, but lord knows when. Not likely to be in time for new year. Might have to readjust my goals. Sorry, but there we are. 
Didn't mean to sound quite so negative there. I've had a really good 3 months or so, and have made great progress, which I intend to continue. But the to-be-expected slip has come at a very unfortunate moment. Perhaps a PB attempt a week after Christmas isn't great planning. My intention is to get back on track, starting today, but this leaves me just 5 or 6 days till the new year race. I will still do the race, but may have to modify expectations a little. A PB isn't impossible but more realistically, if I can beat my Brighton time, I'll be pleased. I'll do the best I can. I'm currently 7 pounds heavier than I was 2 weeks ago! Ooops.
