The post I didn't want to write

You may have noticed the utter lack of posts over the last 3 weeks.

This is due to the fact I sprained my ankle, and upon leaving my house the following day the pain bloomed as the ankle made a lovely (read 'horrifyingly unpleasant') clicking sound.

I had hoped to start running after a week off, and resume my training but my ankle decided it wasn't up to the idea. After seeing a doctor I have the advice to do low impact exercise for 2 weeks, which will take me up to next Thursday, as such I dont think it is realistic for me to still make the Chester marathon.

BUT! I am not going down easily, I plan to keep up the blog and the training and refocus for the Manchester marathon which is traditionally April, which gives me 10 months left to prepare.

Another day, another run to work

So my ankle collapsed on Friday which eliminated my weekends training, but time to "get back on the horse" as they say

0.9 miles, 12 and a half minutes, spot on pace wise, shame that at that pace I am not really running.

Also my shorts didn't want to stay up, which was a small issue, need to get some proper running shorts I think.
