Regular readers will know that I have been having problems this year, firstly getting over some surgery carried out in April and also an on-going nagging hamstring problem.
So with only 4 races and a park run to my name since October last year I decided on Saturday that as far as targets are concerned I am writing this year off and will concentrate on sorting my body out and building up for 2015.
This does not necessarily mean no more races this year, but I will only race when I feel ready and use them as part of my training.
Perversely, I managed a 12 mile run yesterday morning, and although still down on what I would normally expect, I ran the 12 miles 6 minutes quicker than the 10 mile I struggled through the Sunday before!
