start me up

Finally clear of illness and today started the first steps getting back to fitness. Three miles today was tough and tomorrow perhaps foolishly, am going to attempt ten slow miles. Six weeks to get up to 26.2 miles gulp.

on me knees

Following on from two weeks of gout I now have a potentially serious stomach problem. Tried running tonight and packed up after about 3/4 mile. Think its time to take a complete break till the tests are complete. The Carver Marathon is gonna be difficult if nigh on impossible to complete. This situation is a ball ache and very very irritating. Think I may just have to try and get the entry deferred until 2011'

Bored,bored and boring

Spent since Sunday sitting with my feet up watching daytime tv. Not been to work, not run and I cannot believe people live like this all the time. Whilst the pain isn't as bad as last time it been extremely uncomfortable especially trying to put a sock on nevermind shoes. I have cancelled all my training runs and am getting extremely pissed off with this illness/injury situation. Three training plans all messed up.

curse of the gout

Woke up this morning with an ache in my toe and a feeling it was a return of gout. Had a really nice session at a gym,pre arranged free of charge "trial" the highlight was a brilliant bike work out racing around a dirt track compter generated. Sitting here now with a pain in my foot, its back and I am dreading tonight's kip.
