fingers crossed

Even though my last 2 runs have been pain free I will freely admit that I didn't really run full out.  I have been worried that I would get the pain back.  But I can't hide for ever and with the B2B just 13 days away I decided to go all out today.  My goal was to complete a 5K run in under 30 minutes.  So after a coffee and a very light breakfast I hit the road.  The first thing I noticed is how much my fitness has dropped.  Not running (very much) for 2 weeks will do that to you I guess.  But I pushed myself anyway.  I can very happily report I ran the 5K's under 30 minutes and there was no pain what so ever.  Load off my mind.  I'm going to continue training and get my fitness back.  Tomorrow I go play tennis with my friend AP who has just recently moved back from England.  We have booked a court for 10:00 am and I can't wait to hit the court.
