On the Comeback Trail – 8k 44.47
Posted on Nov 21, 2009 under 5-10k, Injuries, Milestones, Regular Runs | No CommentIt’s been a while since I posted to my blog, though I did start running again about a month ago after problems with shin splints (or something like that)
Needed to rest the leg so took up swimming and have become quite adept at front crawl, which as certainly helped maintain fitness. Also doing proper breastroke. Started running again, some very light 5k’s and intend to slowly build back up to pre-injury levels.
Today’s run was my longest run back, I have been quickening up over 5 and 7k, and just added an extra 1k to today’s run, hopefully with a view to getting back up to 10k, then longer runs, but not too much too soon.
Am also keeping up with the swimming as cross training, and enjoying the balance. I didn’t want to post all my little runs, as they are just comeback runs really, but now I have some running fitness back in my legs, I will begin winter training in earnest and once again keep up with this running blog
