fragile knee

Week 14
More missed runs - really pissed off about it- my knee is fragile – but doen’t seem too serious building mileage is not gonna happen for the moment - so I will need to tinker with my program – plan for the moment is to keep my runs regular but short – tracks are even muddier now and in one area so soft my whole foot disappeared and came out caked in mud - it was a real mess – could hardly se my shoes for the mud – really pleased though - my shoes now look hardcore – need to do a shout out on the running bear shop in alderley edge did a good price on nike span shoes and free socks for KID A – her last shoes were nike at sports direct and they were crap – stick with the specialist shops.

The Fear

Week 13
No progress - seem to be stuck on a three mile slog – there is not a hope in hell that I could attempt anything near 13 miles – to add to my current state of misery I really hate running on the streets – up and down kerbs looking out for cars – it is taking fun out of it for me –still better than sat on my butt- stick to the programme stick to the programme stck to the programme – I ve got a 6 mile coming this Sunday - kinda dreading it – I like the idea of a test but feel so far away from that type of distance I have THE FEAR OF FAILURE AND DEFEAT.

Stick to the programme

Week 13
Fallen tree in my path this morning – it was about 500mm diameter – hurdled it and sprinted off –well maybe not – I was relieved to find I could get round it even though I got nettle sting on my legs. Tons of mud to enjoy just now but its slippy as hell – festival muddy – body seems happier on the trail runs - less impact so that good at least I know why I was getting leg and joint pain - Still stuck at 3miles – and getting impatient – seems like I have been doing the whole half hour run thing for ages now – 3 miles wont cut it for race day. Repeat the mantra stick to the programme stick to the programme stick to the programme stick to the programme stick to the programme stick to the programme stick to the programme stick to the programme

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Week 12
Injuries have all healed and had nice run round usual loop it’s a lot lighter in the mornings so can choose between the street run and the bridle paths – think I will do the streets as its best I get used to running on harder surfaces I think that has caused my recent problems and need to get my knees more used to some hard pounding – big project did not come into the studio and as it had my name on it – I need to worry about redundancy again – thought I was going to survive but the practice has been hit hard and I think something will need to give – would like to provide a good punching to some of the idiots who have no idea of the mess that has been made on our economy - grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Running post


Week12
Its was effing wet this morning – first day back after a week out with a sore knee –- the pain I was having was still there but disappeared after two strides in – go figure- it was a bit of a drag to be honest seems I cant get comfortable doing the half hour run – ill go slower next time to see if that helps – pounding more pavement than before as I need the streetlight – maybe this is why I’m getting aches – I’ve been used to soft paths – hopefully this is only short term discomfort I’ll need to stop myself – keep it slow – I’ve now registered for the Wilmslow half – £28 seemed a bit steep –maybe that’s the going rate – want this to be my first race – very excited – will try to enjoy – it’ll just be a nightmare or walk - if I’m not ready
