Hi Everyone,

In general the 1st MTP feels stiff. It doesn't catch the way it use to....

I went for a tiny little trot/walk/jog around the court where I live. Only about 3 minutes but thankfully no pain! :-)

I am totally unfit though :-( ... Ahhhh. I'm so looking forward to the first weeks of feeling generally crap when you get back into...

Still Injured - Yet There Is Some Kind Of Hope! :-)

Posted by bennie, 10 October 2011 -

Definitely time to check in and say hi to all my old CR friends! :-)

Unfortunately my prediction back in June when I said I'd be running in a week's time was totally and utterly incorrect.

I haven't been able to run / let alone walk since the high speed impact to my left foot (1st MTP joint) resulting in torn ligaments and at the time a...

Hi Everyone,

Has been quite some time but I thought it was time I checked in. :-)

The journey of running has been a hard one for me this year with many starts and even more false starts. Whether it's my body complaining abour old age or not but the injuries continue.

Things were going along really nicely getting some longer runs into me (15-16 kms)....

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick note to say to everyone that I'm still alive and kicking. It's time to pull my finger out and commit!!!!

My fitness has started again but very slowly... Plus the warmer weather really has been a bit of a pain. I much prefer training in winter!

Compared to a year ago my fitness is pretty much 1/2 of...

Hi All,

My running at the moment is average... actually a better word is crap....

In the mean time...... i've managed to gain 5 kgs and a beer gut... :-(

I'm...

Too much food, not enough exercise and every now and then too many beers :-(

I went for a run today and my goodness it HURT...

Hi All,

It's the eve of the Melbourne 1/2 Marathon event for me! This time last year I was quite nervous and didn't know what to expect. This year I'm going in feeling confident and looking forward to a fun run tomorrow!

I know right now I won't be beating my time from last year because I'm simply not going to try to do it!...
