Hi Everyone

No posting for three …. Or is it 4 weeks now?  I’m not going to bore you with my schedule during that time suffice to say I have been running. The main reason I did not post was that I was in Pakistan for three weeks work. This mean’t going from the hotel to work and back as we were not allowed outside. Suffice to say it was BOOOORIIINNNNGGGG!!!! I did run on the dreadmill but struggled with anything faster than 7 minute miling and did not go further than 10k. I came home last Friday and then my colleagues were all pulled out and sent home due to the deteriorating security out there. I guess I came home just in time!

I managed to even be home for my sons 10^th Birthday last week. The day before his birthday he was swimming at Norwich and since we were going to visit the old folks (my parents) on the coast we decided to stay the night rather than make the 2 hour trip back home.

On the running front this week, the plan has been to start some double day sessions. Monday PM and Tuesday AM I did 5 miles to the train station. The legs felt tight but ok. Unfortunately the top of the achilles has gradually got tighter all week and I guess I must have torn something as I am hobbling around at the moment. Today then is enforced rest although I have ran 6 times already and completed 44 miles, so I don’t feel too bad about missing a session. Lets hope the leg heals quickly for more sessions next week?

Have a great weekend and good luck if you are racing.
