Starting all over again
The last time I blogged I mentioned that I would be able to walk the Leeds 10K. Well, I decided that I wouldn’t be able to do that and that it would be a better idea to give another two weeks of total rest. The team at the Leeds 10K have even allowed me to defer my place until 2010. What nice people 
I think that decision has paid off. I did a 2-mile “trial run” on Sunday and felt much better. There was the occasional twinge from my original injury (a pulled muscle) initially, but once I got going, it disappeared.
So on Monday I decided to restart my training for the Great North Run 2009. I’m using a deliberately slow, easy training program in order to gradually build up my strength again – I’m definitely not going to risk letting this injury happen again.
