Still running regularly, started picking up the mileage recently......way behind your pace though! I'm missing racing...but I'd only embarass myself at the moment . Still no news on getting my op done.
Its complicated...I had a second scan and the hernia is located in a difficult area where one of the main arteries enters the stomach muscle. If they operate then there's a percentage risk of constricting the artery and damaging the stomach muscles also causing more nerve damage in the area which would cause the pain to get worse. So, on balance the surgeon recommends keeping an eye on it for another 6 months and then review it. So looks like I've just got to get on with things for the moment......not great news I suppose. Anyway, onwards and upwards.....

Will have to get down there for an easy run with you soon mate. Was going to pop in when I was down there Sunday on the bike but it was a bit early!
Get on to the doc again! get them to move it on. Hope its sorted out soon.
Yes mate. 30seconds faster. Going the right way and felt very good. Hows you doing down there? Still missing you out on the roads.
30 seconds - nice one! Still improving then.....must be all that cross training you're doing.
I'm doing ok, been running a bit more - doing about 10 miles day now. Need to put some speed into it next.
Need to get out together mate. Lets sort it out soon.
Aye.......we'll have to sort something out. Is Bryn still out there?
He is on and off at the moment. Need to get the gang back together
So, what time are you aiming for in the Swansea 10k? 35 minutes... I'll probably be watching and heckling you as you go past.
10 miles done tonight in 65 minutes......
Seeing the consultant on Monday
Always aiming for a pb mate. Its a race

Shit! not good news at all mate. Are you managing to get on ok with it? Any running?
Fear not, I am still running......not quite up to speed but I aim to be there in Margam next week, first race for about 5 months I think.
