Best laid plans...

...of mice and men! well, I was hoping to give you a week by week, how is my training going blog, but as you see that never happened. The very next day ( I think) I engage on a long run, only to have to stop after 14 miles and walk home. I managed to pull a tendon in my foot and the pain was quite something. The prescription was rest and I did for a good week plus and decided to buy a new pair of trainers... and continue running... well almost. In theory that is what I have been doing, but in practice, not through injury but I have had to be stopping and walking home quite a bit. After so long (last time at 22 miles) I just lost the will and started to walk. But do I give up and forget this race on the 7th May (yes) NO of course not. To succeed is to know failure and fight through it.

Looking forward to seeing you at the next event - Jon
