After being laid up with injuries I now believe I am finally ready to complete the challenge. I'm keeping up with the exercises the physio recommended to strengthen my right side so hopefully this time I can complete the program. Wish me luck.

I will wish you luck Pete, do keep up with the exercises that your physio told you to do and when out running just take it slow and steady, remember this is not a race.

Thanks all. W1R1 completed this morning without incident. I'm just glad to be back out running again.

Good luck Pete, just make sure you police yourself properly and listen to the physio, don't want to end up laid up and off the programme again.

Another run on Sunday then physio on Monday. I've got everything crossed this time. I honestly don't think I have the motivation to start all over again if I don't complete this time and I really really don't wanna be 50 and fat!!!!
