London 2011 - Here We Go Again..... by Jenoir

Well, it has been a long long time since I last blogged, and I did promise Harri I'd do an update.  But seeing as I am back in the London Marathon gang, then I might as well get blogging again.  Hopefully some familiar faces will crop up and hopefully some new ones!

I'll give you an update since the last time - which was May 2009...a lot has happened but I feel I am back to where I started again!  After London 2009 I threw myself whole heartedly into the world of Triathlons...and completed 4 that summer, plus 2 open water swims.  After that I decided to get my social life back, quickly squeezed in the Windsor Half, and then hung up my running shoes for the foreseeable future...but still doing 3 milers when i felt the urge.  I then met a boy, who quickly became my boyfriend and for about 4 months the running I am sad to say took a serious back seat. Then the boy turned out to be a rotter and that all ended, I did the Bath Half and then another rotter quickly came onto the scene and here I am...single again and about to start training for another marathon!

I haven't actually been running for the last 4 months due to a walking related knee injury.  I took part in trailwalker - the infamous 100km walk which was truely amazing...but left me with water on the knee...which has finally subsided.  So I did my first run yesterday - treadmill, 30 mins with 6 x 1 minute intervals.  The plan up to Xmas is to get myself running fit, training 3 - 4 times a week and to just be a tad bit faster.

So here goes...you'll here from me soon.
