Long time, no post!
So I thought I'd ressurect my post here, rather than creating a new thread.
I've been plagued with injuries over the last year or so and have just started to be able to jog again.
Last year, I had a persistant back problem, so couldn't run much. This May, I ruptured my medial collateral ligament in my left knee and couldn't do anything at all for 3 months. I started to go jogging again in September, did a couple of weeks - starting with a 2 mile run twice in the first week. Then did a 3.5 mile run 3 times per week - started to enjoy it again.
Then 3 fat blokes landed on me at rugby. Cue grade 2 sternoclavicular joint sprain, grade 1 acromioclavicular joint sprain, torn trapezius, pulled deltoid and pulled pectoral and lots of swearing.
So, Saturday was my return to rugby - which we won. Yesterday was my return to jogging - 5.5 miles around Derby City. Aching legs, but feeling good.
Unless I get crocked again, I'm hoping to enter a 10 race next year - the Derby 10k and the Underwood 10k. The Underwood 10k is quite hilly though, but I live almost on it's route, so I've got no excuse for not getting in the training.
