Unexpected challenges

I haven’t blogged for a week and to be honest I am not sure I want to blog now.

I got some bad news last Tuesday that really took the wind out of my sails. It’s put the plans for my challenge in doubt and has put strains on my family and friendships.

I don’t want to say what’s going on as I like to keep my blog about running and what I’m doing. But it has been a stressful time recently and luckily my wife has been there for me.

As for running my last run was Last Thursday. It was Andy’s last speedwork session. It was held up a nasty hill called Bradgers. I didn’t quite do everything I should have. I cut one length short and missed another out completely. I participated in the relay at the end and that was good fun.

I should be going to club tonight and I am hoping to attend park run Saturday.

I am also, and I may live to regret this , set to play my first game for  rugby in 3-4 years on Saturday. It’s probably a stupid idea but rather than break stuff I thought it might be a good idea to relieve the energy at rugby instead.

Hopefully there will be some good news on the horizon and i can really knuckle down into my training.
