Yesterday was a difficult day for me. I should have been running in the Birmingham half marathon, but had to pull out because of the ankle injury that has dogged me for the past six weeks. It didn't help that the weather was perfect for a run - a crisp autumn morning with blue skies and sunshine. A quick look at the online photos shows that it was a great success, so well done to everyone who took part.
Having allowed myself a little time to mope around (apologies to the family) it has to be onwards and upwards now.
If nothing else (ankle injury aside) I am a lot fitter than I was six months ago when I began training, and I need to keep that momentum up while I can't run. I did a couple of short high-intensity exercise bike sessions over the weekend, and a longer low-intensity cycle this morning. Cycling doesn't give me the same buzz that running does, but I have to be patient and do what I can while I wait for the tendons to heal.
I'm also trying to get to grips with the fundraising, as there are lots of loose ends and promoting to do.
I am holding a fundraising candle party in just over a week, so it's time to start chasing friends and family to make sure they can still come along. I also need to sign up some more teams for my quiz night in a months time.
I think my day off will be a busy one.
