I know how you feel Yellow, I had a trail race booked for the 1st of September, "only" 8.5 miles with about 1300ft of ascent/descent, pre-injury I could have got myself round but not at the minute or in the near future. I have put my sensible head on and decided to limit myself to 4 mile max trail runs for the next three of four weeks until I'm happy my left leg can take the descending. I'm also disappointed with making a sensible decision. Its an oversubscribed event so I e-mailed the organisers yesterday to offer my place to anyone who wants it.

Today I did 5.25 miles on the road, aiming for between 8.45 and 9mm pace, I managed to keep it to 8.45 average but I was reining myself in a lot and struggled to keep it constant, I varied from 8 mm to 9.10 mm. While I am pleased I can still run faster now is really not the time for it.
