Back To Basics

6 weeks nearly without a worthwhile run, its hell! Things are starting to look up now though, on Thursday I was allowed to get on the running machine, on Tuesday I'll be allowed to switch it on!! All the rehab is starting ot work on my dodgy back, I actually did 10 minutes on the machine with no ill effects, it was a huge milestone for me. Then it was back in the gym for more core work with the physios, where I regularly make a complete arse of myself. Thursday they had me sat on a big exercise ball with my feet on a small one and another small one between my knees.......that was what they wanted anyway, most of the time it was just me laying on the floor surrounded by balls and cursing. At least we all have a giggle about it. Looking back I can see now that not doing the GNR was absolutely the right thing to do, I was nowhere near capable of finishing and just attempting it could have set me back weeks or months.
Now I'm really trying ot focus on getting fit enough to run for an hour by the end of this month. Then I can work towards getting back my long run fitness ready to start LM training on the 23rd December. Have yo noticed that FLM 2008 was 6 months away yesterday, it'll soon pass!

Well done to all the team who finished the GNR, hope to see you soon.

And QPR finally won a game, England won the football, the Rugby boys stuffed the French....it's the start of a new beginning for all of us. Apparently it was all written in my stars, but I'm a Taurean and Taureans don't believe in Astrology!!
