8.22/8.30/8.53 - is that not very fast? I mean if you slowed it right down (like you're always telling us novices to do!)to say 10m/m would it not be a bit easier?

HA, that's you told C!

2.42 miles at 9.17 pace, had planned 4 but my new runners don't agree with me and my back started hurting so I pulled up.

1,000.54 miles for the year, whoop di do:rolleyes:

sideswipe

Junk miles are a myth, every single one of those miles will stand to you when you get back into the grove!

It's all aerobic development - stronger heart, more capillaries (or is it bigger capillaries?)... all that good stuff.

Younganne

1000m run is 1000m run, 1000m more than some people!!

Mr Slow

Thanks Guys but I can't help thinking it should be 2,000 but C'est la vie. My therapist says I've reached the first level of recovery where I'm not sick and don't need to take a supplement for energy, I'll plateau for a while then jump to level 2, then 3.... but it will be most likely February before I'll be in a position to train for anything, patience is a virtue.

Well done on the 1000 miles. I know it's not the way you wanted to reach that milestone, but it is still some achievement.

On Saturday I will have 12 treatment sessions behind me, in the first meeting I had to fill out a few questionaires and have a physical exam for signs and symptoms and was given a score of 6 (1 is dead and 10 is perfectly healthy) and had 14 of 16 symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome , this Saturday I will repeat the process, the results will dictate whether or not I can start to exercise again in a structured way and if I've reached the point that I can move from weekly to fortnightly treatment.

I'm hopeful!

Plantar facia is annoying, cant imagine going through what you have and staying positive the way you have. Fingers crossed for good news next week.

Thanks Tang, I just remember how it felt to feel strong, when running was easy and I'm determined to get back there.

When will you be back training?

I'm back about 3 weeks, still easing back. Foot is 100% better, running 4 days a week but longest i've ran so far is 8 miles. Dont want to mess it up again.
