"Morecambe Bay"

It's been seven weeks off training plus seven races missed (including some favourite local hill runs) resulting from a calf strain, but this week I can finally say I am back!


After a couple of false starts due to impatience (and forgetting injuries take longer to recover when you are over fifty!) I have this week managed a couple of great runs including my first track session, or at least half session, plus a longer run over an hour. Although my calf is still quite tight, it is definitely getting better. Although my fitness is almost back to square one.


The best run was an early morning seven miler yesterday along the promenade in Morecambe. Apart from a couple of dog walkers I pretty much had the place to myself and with the sun and temperature rising it was definitely one to remember.


Weekly mileage 23. Annual mileage 483.
