RE: And I Would Run One Hundred Miles
I'm not sure I get your drift, OM. I had the op in October, abstained completely until January and I've yet to exceed six miles on a run. Every outing bar Key West has been off-road and I've not yet run on consecutive days. By any standard my return to running has been gentle. I make Captain Cautious look like a bull in a china shop.
I may never be ready for TOM, or even the JS20. I have to accept that, at some point, my body might say 'no further'.
Right now a gentle off-road half marathon feels a long way off. It may be that I'm destined to spend the rest of my days jogging out gentle three-milers.
One thing's for sure; I won't die wondering.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
