The best laid plans of Mice and Men...
...often go awry
Running diary - part three
Well, this is a difficult one to write. Those of you who follow my blog will probably
have been expecting several running updates by now, detailing progress toward
the goal of running the British 10K on July 13th, in support of The Brain
Tumour Charity...
But unless you want to read about me running
30,000 metres a week and having the odd swim, there is nothing much to
report...
You see my partner in crime’s knee turned out to be more badly hurt than we thought and running
has been out of the question for her.
Visits to her GP, pleading with them that it’s not just some growing pains thing, has led to a referral to a specialist, so we’re currently awaiting the outcome of that. In the meantime she has been walking the hard
yards wearing a calliper on her leg much like a Victorian orphan, which in this
fashion conscious world is dedication to the cause par excellence as, training
in the local park, some of her friends may see her…
So to balance the scene out, here is a picture
of me following my last outing running for Children with Leukaemia and featuring
rather heavily my buggered knee…
I don't know when the next training blog will
be, but rest assured we will be on the start line and ready to go at 9.35
wearing the blood-red vest of the charity - all in memory of Shaun of
course. I hope you are still all
encouraged enough to spare us a few quid if you haven't been able to do so
yet. I'll be pounding the treadmill and
swimming the lengths until then, and we'll see what comes of it all. Hopefully there will be some movement between
now and then worthy of your attention and I'll be letting you know straight
away when there's news to report.
Until then, thanks to everyone for the support
received, it really does make it easier to put the running shoes on and push
through the pain barrier in support of this great charity.
That's all for now.
