You know the old saying about acorns, well, tonight saw a small step for Liam, a giant leap for my running! I headed to the gym, and ran a 3Km session. It was slow, painfully, 15:57. But it was a 3 Km run with no niggles as I ran, no running through pain, no feeling every muscle as I ran.
It's a long road back, I have 20 lbs extra around my belly - and a long way before I can honestly say I will be race fit again. Probably no real chance of anything this side of Xmas of note, but I will work at it, and get back. I love running too much to give up on the project....

Liam,
I never worry about the times. When I was younger, and much faster, I still wasn't fast! I always start out a race with the attitude that I've already beaten everyone who didn't show up. And thanks for writing about hashing, but I'm still not sure I understand it. On the other hand, if it involves running and beer, count me in.
excellent news my friend. now, stop drinking and eating and you'll as good as new :)
will you be part of the supporting team for the dublin marathon?
