I’m still recovering from my operation, but the rate of my recovery has been rapid and I feel noticeably better every time I go for a run. However up until Friday I have still felt a pulling and stretching in and around the operation scar. I’ve opened my legs and done a few easy strides and gentle efforts. Every time I go a little faster, I stretch a little more, but once I’ve gone through that it feels like another leap forward.
It was my day off on Friday, it was a lovely day, I’m back running so I thought I would make the most of it and set off for one of my favourite places to run, Castle Eden Dene.

Rewind a month, I’m sitting in a rather fetching Hospital gown with my bum exposed to the world and I’m chatting to Kevin Clark about the operation I’m about to have, he tells me that I’d be able to jog in about two weeks post operation and back into full sessions by December. As he’s speaking, I’m doing maths in my head, four weeks to the Leeds Abbey Dash! Hi, my name is Iain and I’m addicted to running. Well that’s what it seems like sometimes. Nine days after my operation I went to see my Physio (Jason Ellis), he checked me out to see how I was recovering, he tested my strength and flexibility, all looked good, so he set me a pretty intense rehabilitation program. Jason knows me very well now and knows whatever he tells me to do, I’ll stick to (and push it). So with this in mind I left the clinic with a positive feeling and a program in my hand. |
