Following on from the qualifier in May I have been battling a rather persistent IT band ache, taking some of the joy out of running.
It feels like it’s taken its time, but that’s an unfortunate part of recovering from injury… it takes time and thankfully it’s at a point where I’m back out and enjoying running again.
In addition to this, and much to the disgust of my wife, two toenails have finally decided to part ways with my foot. One of the many joys of ultra running. Being a professional foot model is not something in my future.
I’ve been really humbled by the support from the initial donations, a story in the local news paper and from my local run club (Early bird run crew - Hobsonville), who are hosting a pub quiz and a raffle with some amazing prizes to help get me to France.
If you would like to attend, or enter the raffle, search Early Bird Run Crew - Hobsonville on Facebook for more details.
