Great to see that in my absence from the blog Em has managed to upload a new photo of us and I still look like I have an Elvis-quiff!

Note to self: must get rid of that head band

We managed to add in a speed session this week and finished a 6 mile run in 59mins, which is quite good for us. I think it must be the new trainers we are wearing in. The long run was 16 miles which I’m pleased to say we managed without too much drama. Legs are a little sore today. Em managed to miss a phone call as her mobile was the other side of the office and couldn’t get going quick enough to answer it today. Any tips on getting rid of knee pain would be much appreciated by Em, although I’m a physio I have refused to treat her. For those of you that think I’m evil I must just add I’m a hand specialist, the last time I treated a leg was 1999, after telling Em that she seems to have made an appointment with a proper physio!

This week is another step back week to let our legs recover a bit so the long run is “only” 12 miles.

Total miles this week: 26

Lessons learnt: Don’t trust a hand physio with your knee and planning a hand therapy conference in your head when you get to mile 15 helps with that last mile of running. Oh and….head bands may keep hair out of your eyes but don’t do anything for street cred when they make you look like Elvis.
