Something of an eventful run this morning. Going along the canal towpath when I meet a man making frantic efforts to save a hedgehog that has fallen in. As I'm thinking it seems a bit over the top and futile, he tells me that his son drowned in the canal. As I continue with my run I remember reading of his frantic efforts to rescue his son, who had fallen through the ice, several years ago. He was eight years old. I can only imagine what was going through his mind this morning. Put's things into perspective doesn't it.
Rest day for me: steady 3 miles yesterday but dreaded knee pain returned. Managed to outrun it but will take things easy for a few days and run again on Thursday.
Blisters and LLL great races and impressive pb record!
what:swim + cycle tonight.
why:coming back from injury and don't want to do too much running too soon in the first week.
last hard:Sunday.
last rest:Saturday
Well done Blisters and LLL for two new PB's!

Gorgeous day here, perfect for running.
What:4miles
Why: started new schedule today, gearing up for a summer of racing....very exciting!
Went to get my new med cert the other day (required here) and the doc just wrote it out without the usual blood pressure check and listen to the old heart. So I queried it and he just laughed and said 'Well, you are in even better shape than last year and it seems to me you are becoming addicted!'
My thoughts exactly!
Have an enjoyable day everyone
I've got a stinking cold so am going home to work. No running for me for a day or two.
Wish you a quick recovery Matt.
Physio this morning, making good progress and now down to a half-hour session once a week. Club tonight, something hard on the track I suspect..
Last rest: Saturday.
Have a great day.

I was looking at some race reports from the weekend, to spot former clubmates of mine (one was first lady in the White Peak Half! Hoorah!) and was v. amused to see that someone who posts here regularly finished exctly one second behind my slightly scary ex-partner in a certain East Midlands race... more forum conincidences!
Matt. Sorry to hear about your cold. Hope things soon get better.
Slightly more cloud today here in Sheffield. Still feeling mild though.
Today ran for 52mins along the Mayfield valley, mostly off road.
Same again tonight.
Hopefully back on the track soon.
happy Running everyone.

BarnsleyRunner, could you please give me an idea of where the race starts. Its Worsbrough park or something, what do i pass en route from Doncaster? Cheers.
Come from Donny down the A635 all the way to the Stairfoot roundabout (through Marr, Hickleton, past Goldthorpe on the left, Ardsley and drop down to the Stairfoot roundabout. 3rd exit signposted Worsbrough and A61 Sheffield. Up over the hill for a couple of miles then drop down the hill past Masons Arms on right until you hit the A61. Car Park just on your left.
See you there.
speedy recovery Matt.
Best of luck Tia!
