Into the New Year and determined not to let the injury keep
on holding me back, one year since it happened and it would seem that my back
is still not in a happy place. I have had another meeting with the Doctor who
has acknowledged my recovery will indeed take longer than 5 months, very
insightful to suggest this at 12 months post event!
Feeling somewhat positive in my abilities (and perhaps
deluded) I set off on an old favourite of a trail near my aunts house. An out
and back route, fairly flat and all on a nicely cushioned peat path. I reached
5 miles comfortably at an acceptable pace, I saw many horses and families on
bikes on this popular trail.
Although as I reached the halfway marker it did
begin to rain… hmm no way to cut the run short and besides I have run in worse
than some drizzle so I pushed on. I was feeling my pace started to dwindle a
little towards the end and my back did not seem at its happiest.
On my return, I commenced stretching and a soak in the bath…
all helped but as the day wore on my back was not feeling great. I may have
gone too far.
