running slowly into self doubt

I have largely ignored running over the past few weeks (if not longer) feeling that time and effort needs to be applied to the other 2 disciplines and to a degree this has paid some dividends with swimming feeling more comfortable (after finally getting around to having a lesson) and I have managed to improve cycling time (with new tyres).

Ran as part of a relay team at work last weekend and my enjoyment of the event was marred only by my own 'disappointing' run time for the second leg: more than 2 hours to cover the 11 miles but was 5th quickest on my leg out of the 4-man relay teams. Should I feel disappointed?http://www.endurancelife.com/assets/results/2009_cus_quarterv09.htm (P.S. I am still not sure I went the right way on one of the headlands - there was a path below the one I was running on and there were people running on it. Equally there was a path above with people on it. But I do feel I may have taken a short cut!).

Anthony was the star of the team clocking the 3 quickest time on his leg (and I am not sure about the quickest time recorded for his leg as it seems almost superhuman!). Commendations to Darren and Jon as well (Jon - sorry you got the toughest leg...).

Ran 5-6 miles on Friday (day off) again slow and got out sprinted by Si (completely blitzed me) on short run to waters edge on Saturday. Need to fit a few runs into the remaining 4 weeks...
