    Great Manchester run today and I felt I should have been there, i didn't register but I could have had a back door entry, sadly a bust Rib put paid to that. I wanted to kiss the Tarmac on Deansgate with my great friend Jamie B.
    I watched it on tv and the event just gets bigger and better.
    I'm going to do it next year even though it's expensive. I hope I get a chance to kiss the Tarmac again with my mate.
    Congratulations to Jamie and HIS LOVE xxx

    Hello been a long time since i've posted but i thought id give you an update.
    Well lets start by saying training kicked off great, way back in October in the gym nearly everyday. Got a lot of Core work done and really thought i'd be in better shape than last time for this years VLM.

    It all started to go wrong on Feb 2nd, i'd completed my 11 miles quite easily but my left Achilles started to ache so i didnt push it any longer. The day after the tendon was very sore, sore enough to make me limp which in turn strained my Calf ! couldnt believe it.

    I ran once in two weeks and really felt myself slipping behind. Since then ive ran a 6 and 8 miler the tendon isn't 100%. I feel if i rest any longer the race will be out of reach. So i either sit on it and ponder or i run tomorrow and see if i can cover around 12 miles.

    It's a worry but i'm down but not out, whatever happens i wouldn't defer my place.

    Fingers crossed.

    Quick update, all's been going well been working really hard in the gym and starting to put a few runs together nothing more than 5 milers but at least i'm progressing. Had an issue with the Calf but i think thats due to not stretching and a bit of dehydration. So onwards and upwards, still chasing the dream.
