17.2.1976

Avoided cross country today and learned more Russian instead. Of course I realise that cross country is of crucial importance to my career and to that end should gladly endure all the physical discomfort inflicted by it. Of course I realise that by using the two CC periods for learning is an irresponsible and negligent attitude bordering on the criminal!! Am I not a fool to forswear the delights of running round in circles for.....dammed pedantry?
