Terrific!

As possibly one of the more experienced runners in the team I thought it might be helpful to report the training schedule to date and offer a tip or two.
The schedule started 7October 2007. Jersey Marathon Relay. 5 miles Quennevais to St.Helier Waterfront.(Ian did this leg last year). Good to be back running after all the traumas.
Pre-Christmas 2007. Two sessions a week. Good weather 5 mile run. Bad weather row/cycle/run in the gym; apart from a 2 week break late October with an apparently typical runners problem around the pelvic bone.
19 December fantastic snow in Meribel. Quick coffee at the top of the ski lift and off. Piste all to myself. A projectile in the form of a snowboarder connects with my ribs breaking one or two. No ski-ing, running, or much else for that matter for 6 weeks.
End January 2008 tentative running in the gym. All seems O.K.to go back on the road. 2 March competitive 10K run at St.Ouens. Hard but 49.32 not bad in poor conditions. Couple of blisters right foot due to not usual shoes.
13March arrange appointment with doctor for 08.10 following morning, en route to airport for another try to get some ski-ing in at Chamrousse between baby sitting. Badly infected right foot where blister burst. Anti biotics/bandaging. No ski-ing or running. Right leg raised as much as possible
1 April. See physio back in Jersey. No walking or running for a few days yet, particularly if hoping to catch last week of the ski-ing season commencing 12 April.
2April. Fall down small hole in Norman's cement store. Something "went" in the left foot. 4 hrs at A&E.
No broken bones but torn tendon, or is a ligament, on top of left foot. Left foot to be elevated with ice pack for 2/3 weeks. No walking or running. Ski-ing? well it is a stiff boot so if you can cope with the pain it should be O.K.
24 April. Should be back in Jersey and ready to run. Just in case , is there a wheelchair race on the 5th.October?
The tip. Don't do what I am doing.
There is still plenty of time, hopefully to get it right. Atkopop.
