So to follow up on last week's attempt at getting back to cross-training (running) after 18 months of non action with what seemed to be a permanently damaged quad (where it disappears into my knee), today was something of a turning point, I think.
Reaching 9.27 km in 1 hr 8 mins is something that I never dreamt possible after the daily pain I've had, just walking - It's not olympic stuff, I know that- and it's not yet as fast as I used to go...but here we are, and I'm ecstatic.
What's more, I can sprint, if I'm careful - AND, best of all, I can spar properly, it seems (on a good day) at speed too- so at last I'm starting to feel like I'm getting the old me back. There is a smile creeping across the face of someone who's been a bit of a miserable t*** of late :)
