Starting all over again

So first day back - almost back to square one... v v slow and plodding.
That said I did run 3miles/5k without any sense of stopping - but then again at that pace it was the next best thing to standing still!  :o)

About to start again.... at long long last

So about to start again tomorrow (Sunday). So missed 4 full weeks of running so going to be a long road back I think.
Also bit like the winter - tomorrow is due to be 30+ degrees .... only in extremes :o)
Wish myself luck....

No energy - when will I get to start running again

So again today crashed and burned - didn't do anything but ended up going back to bed this afternoon :o(
Simply no energy for anything....

Getting really fed up of this damn bug! :o(

Less than 100 days and no sign when I will start training again

Less than 100 days and no sign when I will start training again

Everyday we all need to be grateful for our health!

Nice

Hold everything....

So didn't run last week to try and shake of a bad cough I had been carrying for 3-4 weeks... so now am not running due to being struck down with a stomach bug.
Not felt this bad since that first trek in Nepal (and that took me 4 weeks to recover!!)....
Think this means a rethink of the training plan again.... am thinking of adding morning recovery runs to supplement the main running plan..... we will see.  Although not for al least a few days ! :o(

The motivation specialist said .. "think of yourself as an animal"

Had to laugh, listening to Marathon Talk and a motivational coach said one of the thing was to get people to compare themselves to an animal or bird. One said and eagle, one a lion and on and on....

Was thinking, where did cart horse come on THAT list!!!!   :o)

Plod on my son, plod on....

"Feel the need, the need for speed" said the cart horse

Think the time has come for some interval training..... this is going to hurt (bad).

I am still reeling from the LM splits, I just can't believe how I did 10k in 32 minutes !!! WTF!! is that about and worse still doing it from mile 3 to mile 9 in your first ever marathon....!!! Not a massive surprise that I just blew up and had to survive....I just doesn't make sense but I guess the timing doesn't lie.....
