Well at least there is both kinds of news so it equals itself out!
So on Wednesday, like I said, I attempted a 3 miler on the streets for the first time since my injury. It was ok, not that I was expecting it to be my best ever run but I just felt exhausted & it was only 3 miles. Feeling very demotivated & a bit fed up I then made the decision to pull out of the Inverness Half marathon on 14th March.
This really gutted me but I know its just not the best idea to push myself too soon as I will end up back at square one & injured with no time to recover pre marathon! Not where I want to be. So, once I made the decision I have changed my plan around to still fit in some pretty long runs before the first big day.
Yesterday I attempted my first longish run of 7 miles. I started very cautiously but by the end I was motoring along & feeling good :o) Pheeeeeeweyyyy!!!!!!!!!
Feeling much more confident now & today I am not in agony which is such a bonus!!!
I am now planning to not get myself upset next week when I cant go & play with all the Inverness Halfers ;) & am planning a 10 miler myself before doing the Hastings Half the following week which I am really looking forward too. Especially now my friend Urszula has signed up & is doing it with me for moral support. How fantastic is that :o) I am not going for a pb or pushing myself at this stage I just want to complete every run I do injury free!! God, I can be sensible sometimes, amazing!!
So although I have had to pull out of my first race, bad times! I have achieved a good 7 miler & am on for Hastings Half, good times :o)
On the fundraising side of things, this week sees yet another opportunity as myself & Andrew have a stall at the local shopping centre where we are holding raffles etc so that should be good fun & hopefully it will be a successfull day. Photo's to follow of course.
