Long road to VLM 2013 Starts here!!
Apr02201210:12 p.m.
hello everyone, remember me??
Not blogged since my enforced decision to pull out of this years VLM with my nasty knee injury and to be honest had bit of a miserable time getting over the disappointment and the slow progress with the injury but hey at last there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. But first its great to read that you are all doing well and beginning to taper down with the big day now less than 3 weeks away! I am so envious but so proud of you all and I will be cheering you on if only in spirit.
A couple of trips to the doctors and lots of rest seems to have done the trick and on the doctors advice I have gradually and carefully over the last 2 weeks built from a slow jog to the end of the lane ( a couple of hundred meters) to half a mile, a mile and so on to this eve when I managed 3 pain free miles. It feels fantastic to be out there again especially with weather being so good and is helping me no end to get over the disappointment of missing out this year and begin the long road to London next year . I am not taking any liberties with my injury and am aware of some weakness in the area so will not go any further for some time with plenty of rest and exercise inbetween, but the signs so far are encouraging, fingers crossed.
Keep up the good work you lot as you count down the days and please stay fit and healthy.
Ian x

reenee_62 'Glad to hear to are doing better now. I am struggling with my hip still, at about 40 mins i stop due to discomfort boardering on pain. Ifi dont improve in the next week or so, i'm pretty sure i'll be pulling out as there's no way i could even manage halfway on the day. My mum says why am i setting myself such a high target, that i dont need to finish, erm, its the VLM, kindof important to finish it! At least half way, slowly feeling some heart break.
