1st mile knee pain-free in 2 months

Yey, at last after 2 months of rest I managed 4 laps of the track knee pain free! my fitness is wiped out of course but a good sign in any case.
The bike work however is helping to get my cardio work back on track and I hope that I can get fit in time to complete the robin hood marathon. Finishing the marathon rather than any PB goal of course and this marathon was only ever for... FUN.

Oldham parkrun was a great success this week not just for the super turnout but from the buzz before and after the event.
The weather was great, sunny, light breeze and around 9 deg Celsius. As we processed the results the temperature dropped rapidly and by the time I pulled up at home it was hail-stoning! Talk about fickle weather systems...

So this week I will try and stick a couple of miles down on the track and kick start a short marathon training plan.
I hope you have had a good running week and I should think my next race will be the Sale 10 mile in a couple of months time, or perhaps a parkrun as they are every week ;)
