Final Instructions

This morning I got up and went out for the first walk with the dog that I have done for nearly 4 weeks (because of my foot). I was actually a little worried about how it would feel, and although definitely not back to normal, there wasn't any pain. I had some breakfast and went up onto the treadmill intending to do a small run to see how it went. Again, I was a bit nervous. Almost 4 weeks of no running has been tough but hopefully that's all done now.

I ran 2 miles, again... no pain but it didn't feel back to normal. That doesn't concern me however, as after this long it was unlikely to feel back to normal on my first run. So, I finally got to use the treadmill. It's great!

Shaun has sent me links for quite a few core strength and stretching exercises, and I'm hoping to give these all a go today. I'm supposed to do them on a Friday, however as today has been a very low level for training, I'm sure doing them today will be fine. They don't allow me to play catch-up though... so it's possible they will tell me to leave it until the next session.

My final instructions came for Basel this morning. I can't believe it's only 8 weeks away. I have some serious training to get back into...
