Getting back into it

Since the start of the year I have been trying (desperately trying) to get back into stride, my ankle (and other linked injuries) have caused me to be a bit stop start this year, but now is the time to start a fresh and I have a “reason” for the running.

That “reason” is still under raps but that is due to my lack of confidence of my injury, when I feel I am totally over it I will divulge and I be taking you all through the preparations, the hard graft that is required to compete.

This week is week one of the build up to October and I have achieved a massive total of 11 miles (oh yeh!! look out Mo (Farah) here I come!!). This compiled of 3 easy miles on Monday, then met up with Phil Parry on Thursday for a run round the BAWA field. Then today thought I would have an easy 3 miles until I started running and the easy run ended up being a tempo and achieved a totally unexpected 18 mins 30 for 3 miles. Ok not the best (2 mins off of my PB) but its a start and its a start in the right direction.

Its my sons 4th Birthday on Monday so I am taking the weekend off running, but I am totally looking forward to Monday and running again.

All I now have to say is “BRING IT ON!!!”

Happy running to all

Nice one, I can't wait for my injuries to go... "rest" isn't helpful when you try and keep fit and on top of your pace.

Thanks Tom. As frustating as injuries can be there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Just keep it steady, dont over do it but keep at it. Good luck

Dave, I am lucky that I had a morning off and went to Thornbury Sprts Centre on a Tuesday at 11am, Linda the Aqua Jogging Trainer runs mainly our of South Wales and she is trying to take Auqa Jogging to this area, unfortunately at this point in time there is no evening classes, but I am working on that!!!
