I went to running club last Wednesday for the first time in more than two months. I was pleased to manage a fair paced five mile run although my hamstring was up to its normal tricks by the end. Two hours later, my hip/hamstring had completely stiffened up but I had enjoyed catching up with my fellow runners, a refreshing drink and some cheesy bar snacks!
I'll continue with the stretching/strengthening and delay running again until my muscles have recovered. At least the evenings are lighter now that the clocks have gone forward so some post-work running is just waiting to be enjoyed :-)
About Me
- Mel
- On October 25th 2010 and April 17th 2011, I will be running the Dublin and London marathons (respectively) in a bid to raise £1800 for Guy's & St Thomas' Charity. I had intended to run the 2010 London Marathon but had to defer my entry due to injury. The charity funds a wide range of projects from small schemes that improve the patients' environment, to major initiatives that involve the purchase of cutting-edge equipment to diagnose or treat illness". Past successes include supporting London’s first children’s hospital – the Evelina Children’s Hospital, modernising kidney disease, stroke and sexual health services in Lambeth and Southwark, funding state of the art research laboratories, and providing free concerts and therapeutic arts projects to aid patient rehabilitation.
