Less than five weeks to go before the London marathon and I'm certainly starting to feel tired - a combination of 70+ miles per week and 10 races in the last 12 weekends has meant a steady drain on resources so listening to my body when it starts to tell me 'enough' will avoid injury at this crucial stage.
Last night during a pyramid pace session (800m, 1200m, 1600m and back down again) my right leg stiffened up causing me to plant my foot in correctly, I ran with it for about 800m and tried to stretch it off but it was having none of it - I cut the session short and will try and book a massage today in an bid to run the Trafford 10K race on Sunday, its a good local race and a fast course - I'm not classing it as an injury or even a niggle yet as there is no pain or stiffness this morning, just one to be aware of. Treated ourselves to fillet steak and salmon as a 'protein' treat to make me feel better after not completing teh session - Mmmm !
Trafford 10K course
It was great seeing Simon Knighton back at the track tonight - he's had a stress fracture over the past few weeks and is now easing himself back into it - he's one a the regulars in the group and a really good guy - shame he's a City fan though.
On the house front we now have two rooms plastered, one bedroom has started to be decorated and if things go to plan today we will have five different people working at the same time (if....!).
