Read MoreThe road back to running has changed to ………. January 2018
Technically I should start my first personal blog of 2018 by calling it ‘my running road’ rather than the ‘road back to running. I have been running with the club since November, I did 3 park runs in December, including one on Christmas Day so I should be referring to myself as a runner. January…
Read MoreTHE ROAD BACK TO RUNNING-Festive December running 2017
Wow what a difference a year makes. December 2016 was me just running a mile and thinking that I would never be back but this December has been totally different. This month I went back to the club, I wanted to go back but not on this evening. I knew the rain was coming in,…
Read MoreThe Road Back to Running-November 2017

Read MoreTHE ROAD BACK TO RUNNING-September, the month of firsts.

Read MoreTHE ROAD BACK TO RUNNING-Would August end like it started?
July did not end well and this rolled in to the beginning of August and somehow I had to find the energy to keep the battle going. My first run of couch to 5 km on the last day of July was OK but my knee had swelled up afterwards but I thought I need…
Read MoreTHE ROAD BACK TO RUNNING: July with a smile?
I feel that I can look back on the month of July with a smile, although it seemed a really long month. July saw me complete my first cycle event since 2007 I want to say. This month I was allowed to start bounding in the park and also it saw the start of couch…
Read MoreTHE ROAD BACK TO RUNNING: June saw the internal battle
This month has been a battle with myself and having to be honest with myself. Weirdly enough these battles have been fought out whilst riding my bike, once I have enjoyed the scenery, seen the cows and have complained about drivers or pedestrians I then think.
