Well its been 6 days. I have lost another 2 pounds and have run m,y first race since being injured.
Physio yesterday and more exercises to do, i need to strengthen the ankles ready for the long walk in May. Mikey's birthday month. I wonder what he would say if he was here now! plenty i would imagine.
Getting back to running has been really hard, much harder than i imagined. Maybe its because of my age, or just because i am not as fit? um food for thought.
The race on Sunday was 5 miles. 5 miles in freezing icy conditions and rather dangerous running beside the river. By the time i got to that stretch it had been well and truly run over and was a slippery muddy part of the course. HAVING SAID THAT I MADE IT!! It was a bit of a rush getting to the race though. I decided to cycle to the venue, home baked cake in bike basket. As we were hosting the race all members bake!! So cake on top of my kit and almost there when i realised i had forgotten my Garmin!! so it was home again collect the watch, Tim was waiting at the top of the drive holding it out!! Back down to the race, 7 miles before i had run!!! still i suppose that counted as a warm up.
I decided to wear my old trainers and they were so much better than the new ones, i can feel another shop coming on.
The weather has changed and the fen is wearing her winter coat. White again! Snow fall and everything comes to a grinding halt. The back roads leading to Wisbech are scary and i have had a couple of white knuckle rides this week. My little Tigra has become a skitty nervous beast, she truly is a fair weather vehicle! Roll on the Summer. The days are getting longer though, its now daylight until 4pm soon be light to drive home.
We are out for a training walk on Sunday, so not sure how that will go. I have the required walking shoes and just hope i do not acquire blisters, 10 miles i think we are doing.
London again on Thursday so no run for me, i will attempt to go out on Friday for run as i am running the world until November. Well not literally i belong to a really good running group which started when we ran in the Olympic stadium. Need to run 300 miles by November. Thank goodness training walks count too.
Work is going well, but we have the same problems just different people! but it pays the bills!!!
Just tried putting photos on with no success ah well tomorrow is another day..........................
