A jubilant June

Well almost jubilant anyway. 150kms run and 3 good hard cycles completed.

It's now 6 months post injuries and I feel like my body is slowly getting closer to where it was pre-injury.

By necessity I'm staying away from back-to-back running days (mostly) and not running long distances. My endurance is down but I can rebuild that (I hope) once I have a good base built up without trying (poorly) to "manage" injuries.

The last three weeks I have been cycling 45kms a few times and then throwing on my runners and slipping out for a 10k+ run. While the actual running seems ok (although I really should down a gel or something before the run) the after effect is that my legs feel soooo depleted the rest of the day - I'm hoping this effect reduces with time.

BTW, I have no intentions of doing a triathlon - I am doing this to keep my running going and lessen my chance of injury. Besides, cycling I have decided, is the ultimate sport for someone like me - endless accessories to buy/drool over. I bought myself one of these babies
this week off ebay. Almost half the price of those in the shops and delivered to my door (brand new). I luurve ebay! Ain't nobody not going to see me when I am out in the morning or evening! Bought purely for safety reasons... :) All I need now is a new bike helmet and..... a few spokey dokes...and....
