Happy New Year

Welcome to 2011

2010 finished on a bit of a sour note.  Unfortunately at the Liverbird Double Marathon, I slipped on a step and jarred my back and had to retire after 21 miles.  I'm sure I could have finished the last 5 and a bit miles but I didn't want to to myself any lasting damage, all made even worse by the fact that I was on for a fantastic new (Outdoor) PB of around 4 hours 40 minutes.

I am planning to hit the running hard and have a plan to claw back the miles I've lost because of the snow and ice over the next couple of weeks.  All being well I will be back on target and possibly even ahead by the 1st of February.  I've found that doing double sessions on a Saturday and Sunday means I can really get the miles in and get back on track.

After a run tonight, I'll have less than 900 miles to go and a light is beginning to appear at the end of the very long tunnel.
