Wow, I've missed a lot. Internet access is now cut off at my old flat and I've been there quite a bit to get stuff moved out etc. Grendel - That's a real bummer that you didn't get to your race after all that preperation. Jacky - Hello and welcome ! I fractured my fibula just before Christmas 2009. I didn't run at the time so I was pretty glad to be off work for 6 weeks, although I did go a bit mad with boredom. It was a stable fracture so I was given an Aircast thing to walk about in while it healed. Moonlight - well done on a PB, excellent stuff. I haven't had a Creme Egg this year. I'm not much of a sweet tooth. Beachball - PB for you too, well done ! Sue - Enjoy Amsterdam B2B - you seem to be getting some good consistent training done now. Good stuff. Just Run - Glad to see your training is going well too. Micknphil - get well soon. I've not been managing to get in to a routine at my new place yet, as a result I only ran 4 days last week totalling about 25 miles. This week has been a bit crap with me not really feeling too good. I trained with my home club on Tuesday then didn't run again until a 5 miler on Friday which was a struggle. Yesterday, I set out to do 10 miles; I got about 300 metres down the road and just stopped, turned round and walked back home. I can't put my finger on what made me stop but it just felt wrong. I was pretty tired but that doesn't usually stop me so I'm assuming I'm coming down with something or I just need a rest. I didn't run today either so I plan to get back out on Tuesday. Hopefully, order will be restored by then. On the plus side, I knocked 5 seconds off my 3K time trial last week with 11:53. Quite chuffed with that. It's not a flat course either so I think I could possibly just dip under 20:00 for a flat 5K. My next race is 2 weeks away on Sunday 22nd. I've not registered yet though and I'm considering giving it a miss to just concentrate on building my mileage back up to what it was. |
