Posted by Brick , 13 February 2012 - - - - - - · 424 views

I am not sure why but the last few weeks since pulling my right ITB I have really enjoyed my running.
You would think the injury would of got me down but I have tried to not worry about it and do what I can without hurting it more.
I have not been doing any speed work and doing a lot more trail runs.
Running to/from work via Penno Park so I guess 65% trail...

Smc Half Marathon

Posted by Brick , 15 January 2012 - - - - - - · 332 views

Being my second week back at proper training after the post C2K rest was not sure what I would manage today.
Went out with the idea of taking it a little bit easier to start with and picking it up the last few kms.
