A rambling commentary on my running and a log of what I've been up to with my training. It, hopefully, will show my progress and improvements towards my running goals and enjoyment of keeping myself fit and healthy.

I have a dilemma. Do I accept that my knees are not going to get better quickly enough for me to Draycote or do I keep trying to increase my mileage gradually and hope for the best? Trev has had a talk with me this morning and now I feel despondent. He says I should realise that I always get injured when training for the marathons and maybe its time I settled for running shorter distances (which I don't want to do), that maybe my body just isn't biomechanically right for long distance running because for the last couple of years I do all this training then miss out on the actual event.I feel sad thinking that I may have to stop running so far but in the back of my mind I have a feeling that maybe he is right? Am I just being unrealistic in my goals? I really don't enjoy the shorter runs as much as the longer ones and I need to have something to aim for, something to achieve that I enjoy. I have my heart set on more marathons and an ultra. I just don't know if I will ever make it.I really don't know what to do :0(
