I am unable to run still. An attempt at running again proved that my injury is far from healed. I am awaiting a bone scan and will continue with physio in the meanwhile. I want to step down from this group as on my return I don't want any pressure to prematurely pump up the miles. By the time I am running again I will have lost between 3 and 6 months of the year on the bench. I would be mad to try to catch the bunny! For the rest of this year I am going to try to build a base purely by listening to my body. The only race that I will attempt is the Tough Guy race in August which I will do purely for fun not speed. At least that's the plan. I bet I am crap at sticking to it! Good luck to the rest of you and i'll be back next year. Claire xxx

We'll miss you - and i respect your decision to set yourself up for success. Hope to see you in some of the other groups and hear your tale of health!!

I agree. It sounds like a good plan to not chase the d@*$ bunny. I hope you heal quickly and can have that self-discipline to stick to the plan. Don;t push yourself, and we'll see you here soon enough. Enjoy your easy training for the tough guy!

I bet it hasn't been easy to make that decision but it seems like this is the wise course of action. Heal first, then chase whatever bunnies you decide to catch. Hope you'll keep posting to other groups though. Ewa
