I promised something epic for my 900th post to the blog, but after 5 days spent not writing anything because it seemed inadequate, I looked back through previous significant milestones and discovered that I've pretty much failed to acknowledge 800, 700 or 600 either. Pressure off, then. Maybe I'll time my new-found productivity to coincide post 1000 with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee this time next year.
In running news, I've got about 5 weeks until the British 10K - the latest run I've targeted to try and get a PB in. Alas, I ignored the health warning on the training plan I was using and launched myself into week 5 of 12 from the off (given time constraints when I began a fortnight ago). Four runs in 5 days later, I've given myself shin splints which even an easy week last week hasn't cured.
I'm feeling a bit tetchy sitting here when I want to be out getting fit and healthy, but there's no point going if my shin doesn't recover. I'm not having 5 weeks of pain just for the sake of a jog round central London.
It might finally persuade me to retire my old trainers and get some properly fitted ones, 4.5 years after starting running. Or I may just keep repeatedly mentioning it and failing to do anything about it.
