Time Travel

Wow it's been a long time since the last post. I reckon I've exposed my arse to 9 physios since the last post and I'm really chuffed to say I'm getting somewhere. My problem vame about because I have a sizable chunk missing in my right glute compared to my left AND my left leg is about 2.5cm longer than my right. You would have to wonder why the feck am I a runner then - simple answer is that it's one of the few things I can do better than most other people. It also helps that I enjoy it - not sure what characteristic is more important here.

I ran my first race in about 5 years at the Blacktown 10k fun run last weekend and despite not being able to break 52min for 10 k the week before I finished in 46m30s with my fastest laps being the first (a tad too excited) and the last (I didn't want to leave anything in the tank).I was initially pleased with the result but then the competitive nature kicked in and I began regretting setting too slow a pace for the race. I had my breath back within 3min of finishing and more importantly, NO PAIN.

I'm going to get back into some training but will ignore junk kilometres and instead focus on quality interval,longrun and tempo workouts with some tough core workouts. Next workout is a 16km bush run in the Hills area regardless of the tempest that is threatening to keep most of Sydney indoors again. It's only water and you can only get wet once!
