An attempt to track the ups and downs and ins and outs of a boys attempt at, at best, becoming a semi-elite (thats at best) long distance runner

pt seems to be helping.

right.. gently does it, plus lots of biking, plus lots of icing and physical therapy. my leg does feel better and the physical therapy will hopefully help it recover without breaking down again. I'm stick to short runs for the next week and a half at least (more than 8 or maybe 10 miles).

Sat 27 - 7 easy
Sun 28 - 3 easy (plus 30mile bike ride)
Mon 29 - 7 easy (plus 60mile bike ride)
Tue 30 - 6 easy (plus 60min exercise bike in gym and 30mins core)
Wed 31 - 8 easy (plus 20min exercise bike in gym and 20minutes upper body weights)

track tonight... just going to do some easy mileage and maybe 8 X 100 strides.
Bike has punctures already so will fix them this evening and bike to and from work (16miles) tomorrow.

it's been long enough now that I'm starting to get a desire back again to work my tits off in the gym and on the bike and out running. I'm going to buckle down and focus on a solid 5 weeks of training before taking a weekend off in the middle of july (trip to outer banks - which will probably be loads of running anyway.. but plus loads of drinking and food too).

Getting back into things.
