Running Update

Well yet again I have managed to neglect my blog :-(  I keep meaning to update it and then think "do I really have much to say?"

So what have I done between my last blog and now?  Well I am now into week 3 of my half marathon training in preparation for the Edinburgh half in April.  Training is going well so far.  I am managing to build up my distance and stamina again after enforced rest due to injury.  My hip is also holding out and I am really pleased about that.  I just need to make sure that I now take time out to do my physio exercises and to stretch properly after each run and gym session.

I also took part in the Jogscotland (post)poned Christmas Cracker 5k at Strathclyde Country Park.  Although my time wasnt fantastic, it was a good effort for a first of season and post injury race.  Time to complete was 33:48 and a time I need to work on.  It was a good day out and the weather held out for us. The highlight?  Our picture taken with Jog Scotty the mascot :-)

I'm hoping to do another first for the year and attend Parkrun.  This will also help with my half traning and the course is tough.

Anyway, I will try and make a concious effort to update my blog from now on.  I am usually so full of hot air I need to vent it somewhere but I havent been up to drivelling standard the past few weeks.  So more to come from now on - you have been warned :-)
