Back on track

One week to go...and I'm running again!

After not running for the last six weeks due to damaging ligaments in my knee, I was up and out at 0915 this morning and had a gentle 4 mile run to blow away the cobwebs. It was difficult as I have obviously lost some of the fitness I had built up, but it was so good just to be out running again...and so far, without a reaction in my knee.

I applied ice to me knee for half an hour as soon as I got back in before hitting the shower...no cold bath today. Next on the agenda is another 4 miles on Wednesday night before the big one on Sunday!! It is very daunting to think I have to do over 13 miles on Sunday having only managed a 10 mile run once during my training before the injury halted my progress. The battle to complete it is going to have to be done 95% in the mind and 5% in the legs!
