Fun in the sun

After the disappointment of knee injury problems in 2012  which severely limited training  over the  last 12 months it is good to get out and achieve some longer excursions.

Since being bitten by the running bug at the age of 40 following much  sibling encouragement my yearly mileage had never dropped below 2000 making a conservative estimate of a total distance of over 60,000 miles,  the equivalent of more than twice around the equator and accounting for many, many pairs of trainers. I make no apologies for being   deeply disappointed at injury bringing to an end  this long-running record.

The knee problem is still there,  but does not prevent plodding on even ground and eventually I hope the continuing, though slow, improvement will put me back with the main group on Saturday mornings. 

It was good to see NicO  out again and to see so many taking advantage of the sunshine.
