Right some updates....prob some of the last in this log ill be back under a barbell in a weeks time.

So last thurday i did myself some damage in jujitus. a miss placed elbow while ground fighting lead me to the physio on friday...thank go it was nothing serious. My adductor wasnt happy and required some rest and ice. so no running till sunday.

Sunday

3 miles

Monday

4 miles in 41 minutes

Im happy to be able to run so i wasnt too concerned with the times. The plan is a 5 miler tomorrow and thats it till the Half on Saturday. I have a jujitsu grading coming up so havent been able to back off that either

Im still going to aim for 2 hours on saturday if i fail i should break 2:10.
