If you're here looking for my P2P race report, you'll find it
here.
But, onwards. Already, it's December. Funny, but I still pinch myself in disbelief that it's actually 2011 ... it still seems to me like the new century has only just begun, yet it's nearly 2012 already.
Anyhow. Down here it's getting a bit too hot now for lunch-time runs so on work days I've taken to running in the pre-dawn. To be honest I'm completely surprised that I'm up for it. After the P2P I was inclined to take a couple of weeks off, but I became so inspired by Sweder and Seafront Plodder travelling literally half-way around the planet to take part, and two of my sons also racing that I couldn't let it go. Also, having trained so well it seemed a shame to let that go to waste, especially after my back injury didn't allow me to run the kind of race or the time I had intended and trained for.
Heck, all I really know is that I want to keep running and build on the good work I've done so far this year, and continue that through 2012. And so for two mornings in a row I've been up at 04:30 and pounding the streets, picking the hilliest, most undulating streets I can find around the manor.
And ... it's been good! I'm loving it, I feel strong and fit, and raring to build it into something ... significant.
So, let's see where this all leads. But first, back to the physio to get the last niggles ironed out of my back.
December 2011...
