Balancing Act

It has been some time since I posted. And it has been some time since I ran anywhere.

I have had to work hard to rest my shins and resist the temptation to go running, but I have managed it. Not a day goes by without me longing to hit the roads. I am so focussed on running at least three halfs and three full marathons in the next 18 months, that I know that this is the right thing for me to do. And it seems to be working. There were occassions over the last couple of months that i would feel my left shin twinge as i walked across the office. But (and I am touching wood) i have not noticed it for quite a while.

My enforced break was made a little easier with a weeks holiday to the UK in the middle for a wedding. I just need to remember to stop eating like I am still burning all of those calories every day.

I have two weeks to go until my first gentle jog... that is two weeks of less food and less booze. Wish me luck.
