the week gone by....

I thought I’d stick with weekly updates until I get back in the swing of things fully….. so here is this weeks.

In a very cheery mood after just surfing over some of the blog entries from Pats group, a few people with injuries have come back recently and it doesn’t appear to have made a lasting negative impact on them, so hopefully the same will apply to me. My original hope was to get back to Pats next week, but I feel that it will be another fortnight probably before that happens, my goal now is to run 10km pain-free (slow as I like!) and I’ll feel comfortable with re-joining, at the moment I would be left for dust and probably end up injuring myself again in the process!

Anyway, stretches are being continued, I think I would make it at least 5 nights a week for a full stretching session and on the nights I don’t have time, I always try and have a quick session in the morning. Over the past week I have managed 3x2km runs comfortably, the latest being this morning. On Thursday I intend to do 4km, reaching my 10km goal before my next physio appointment and taking it up to the level where I felt most discomfort during the recent RiverRun.

So, overall feeling quite positive at the moment, despite the short distance, it’s all been pain free and at a fairly reasonable (sub 5min anyway) pace…..
