I was rather hoping to bring you some good news this week about my return to marathon training. You may recall I’ve had an enforced rest due to a slight pull or strain in my right calf. Well, I have rested it and had 3 good massages on my legs and back in the hope of curing the problem. Things were looking good on Monday when, after a long walk, I managed a 1k jog around a field. Things looked even better on Wednesday when I did a good 4k (2.5 miles) with a 3k (nearly 2 mile) warm down. However, my ‘attempt’ at a 10k (6 miles) this lunchtime failed miserably, with the same problem coming back after only 2.5k (1.5 miles). So I sit here dejected. ☹
The revised plan, below, was a little ambitious, given the events I have on the horizon, so I’ll just have to grin and bear it and make yet another comeback in the summer. In the meantime, I may well have to get out my road bike and take it for a spin. Every cloud and all that… 😊
Sorry to hear the return of your leg pain, Mike, keeping you from doing what you love. Bike it to wellness to prepare for the summer!

Thank you Donna. For the moment I’m making the most of the sunshine by doing some home improvements (painting our shutters). But, my bike will be out the first chance I get. 🙂

It’s certainly frustrating when all you want to do is jog along… But, I’ll be back! 🙂
