Bit of an on-off relationship with running at the moment. Niggly injuries never seem to be far away, and yet I'm pleasantly surprised at fitness levels off low mileage training when I can run. I've managed about three runs and a gym session since my last track session on 17th Dec, when plantar fasciitis struck on my left foot, but decided I was sufficiently niggle-free to get round the Kent County XC champs yesterday.
Result: 44th overall, 11th scorer in a 2nd-place 12-to-score team, and 2nd v45. (There was only one older person ahead of me, a v55 who is a bit of a local legend.)
Post-race result: more hobbling. I'm not completely out of action, but hard running - particularly in spikes - appears to be making the PF flare up, so I'm gonna continue with a mix of easy running and gym/cycling, most likely skipping next week's Surrey League XC and hope it's cleared up to give the Southerns at Parly Hill a decent crack. Bloody PF, it's a bugger!
