Giving up on Kildare

 

 

I went out running for 5km last Saturday, hoping it would be a leg loosener for Sundays planned 25-26km.

 

The pain in the small of my back was still there (caused by trying to do some core exercises over the last few weeks).   But while running (and for a good while afterwards)the pain spread beyond my back, down my hamstring, and into my calf.

 

Running has become, if not quite impossible, very uncomfortable.   I missed my long run, and haven’t run since (a full week today).    Only today did walking downstairs not hurt, and i reckon i’ll do 5-6 miles over the weekend – but for now no marathon in kildare in May.   At this stage i might try Portumna in June, a 50km run on 12th June - http://forestmarathon.com/

 

I cant say i’m overly disappointed – the training has been a real drag recently and probably the mental state didnt help…..
