Running On (mark 2)

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 :)

Running On... (at last)

Well, I figured if CrAsh can have his own blog, so can I, so this is the first of something that will probably bore you to tears...but hopefully not.

Last March I damaged my knee when I was training (Kickboxing), and since, it's been kind of up and down but a  lot of days I've had pain and not been able to bear weight on it
until about 2 months ago (but still been instructing).

Finally- a Physio's come to my rescue, and I'm starting to cross train just a  little bit. Wednesday I managed 6 km on the treadmill- today, 8.2km- so I'm just a  little bit chuffed and had to share it with you.

Tommorrow, I think I might ache :/
