One Week To Go...

One week from today I should be blogging about a successful return to running. That's still the plan - and I'm confident I'll succeed.

One concern is that, since I was in Blackwater I've felt a niggling pain in my left heel. I thought it was something to do with my running shoes, but since I haven't worn them for a few weeks and the pain is still there - perhaps it's something a bit more serious. I'll just have to see how I go.

So until next week...

The Plan...2006!

OK, OK, enough abuse.

I have a plan. It may be easy for some just to wake up one morning, pull on the runners and get going. For me, it needs a bit more thought...

1st of May is my target to start running again. That'll give me time to finish off a couple of exhausting jobs I have around the house (laying pavers) and for my parents to head off back to UK.

That'll give me 15 weeks until City to Surf 2006. With a bit more idea about a structured training programme and my Imaginary Friend to help me along, I should be able to improve on last years' time of 1:16:34.

So I should be looking forward to some cold dark mornings over the next 3 months!
