First Marathon after injury

Yipppeeee, I did it, ran my first marathon after injury and I survived. Leg appears to be OK will be icing it later, but so far so good. Didn;t run particularly fast (4:09) but I made it around and did collapse in a heap.

Onwards and upwards and on to the next race in Sheffield.

thanks

QUARTER OF THE WAY

Well against the odds I have just raced race number 10 so only 30 left to go.

Feeling really good now, with races under my belt and all of them in reasonable times (1:45 - 1:47), not quite at PB and will be making a concerted effort after my holidays to raise the bar and get back to full fitness.

thanks for all the support so far and don;t forget to pledge some money to this worth while cause.

Story so far

Well with 18 months to go I am completely back on track and running races every 2 weeks.
It is still a little hit and miss and don;t think my leg is completely recovered from injury but am making sure that I am sensible.

Am trying to raise money now to go with the running, so if anyone want to sponsor me, you do so at www.justgiving.com/Challenge40Donations thank you.

Will start updating more often to keep everyone posted on progress.

thanks

AT LAST

Well after 6 months of not racing I am finally back on track. It seems like the road to recover is nearly complete and Challenge 40 is back on track.
Completed my 3rd race in the challenge on Sunday and though slower than PB was a good solid race and I really enjoyed it despite the appalling weather conditions.
Challenge 40 here I come,

Fantastic Run

Hi All,

Just had to share with you all, I had a fantastic run today. Ran for 7 miles (58:08) and felt really good. Feel like I am finally on the road to recovery.

Am seriously working out what races I need to do and when to get back on track, but I feel much more confident than I have for a long time.

Racing Again

Hi All,

Well progress is really slow, but I am running again. I have just signed up for a couple of races in November and December so all is looking good.

Fingers crossed all will go well and this will be the last of injury for a while,

thanks

On th Road Again

Hi,

Well after nearly 3 months of little or no running I am back on the road again. It is a very slow start and progress is slow but I am getting there, I did 8 miles today 5 miles running 3 miles walking but at least I am starting to get some miles on my legs again. It feels like forever but hopefully it will not take too much longer to get my self back into the swing of things again,
thanks
Lois
