It's been a long time.....

....... well, the virus lingered and I became disillusioned with ever running again.

Ok, so that may seem dramatic  ......
but having three months out with shingles last summer and then taking an equal amount of time to get my fitness back, to only  be ill again two months later and unable to run really pissed me off.

I know, I know, in the grand scheme of things it's nothing really and of course some of my fellow runners have injuries or had operations that have curtailed their running so they are in the same boat too but ........

Anyway this is just to let you know if you were wondering, I am running again and it has taken until this week to get my fitness back to how it was the week before Christmas.

So in other news, I'm planning to run the Bideford 10k again on 15th May but have decided not to blog about my training again so as

a) Not to bore you

And

b) Not to tempt fate ........ as it seems as soon as I crow about how well my training is going I come down to earth with a crashing fall and illness and if it's not going well its just plain depressing.

Anyway the plan is to run the race (that I haven't even entered yet) in an hour and knock one minute 20 seconds off last year's time .....

I'll let you know .......
