January ahead........

So its January and the Indoor season is fast approaching and for some it has already started or it is about too. I have normally run by now but this Indoor season I have decided to try something different and hold back on opening up until the Birmingham Games which take place the first weekend in February and the week before the UK Trials. I do like to get a few races under my belt early as it takes a few to get my legs going again but I am in good shape at the moment and want to get the sessions in as the most important thing about this year is the Olympics so the foundations need to be laid down now in order for me to be ready when it counts most and that's in June when we have our UK Olympic Trials!!


I have been a bit unfortunate and had a bit of a set back with my wrist which I damaged last year and am going to have a CT scan next week to see if I can have my plate and pins removed as they are causing a few problems for me plus I need to have my cartilage checked to see if it is still in tacked as I am having some discomfort like before so I have now had to stop using my arm so much and give it a rest, so certain weightlifting is out of the question at the moment so I have been putting other things in place to replicate what I am missing. I am enjoying this though as it brings in something different to my training so I am not getting bored of doing the same thing over and over again. I am now becoming a master at resistance training and I have the legs to prove it!!! I am also now doing alot more running both on the track and on the hills, plus jogging for distance!!!! Its got to be done!!!

I am looking forward to the next few weeks going into competition and the fine tuning that will take place I cant wait to get competitive again, its been a long time coming and I have everything crossed that this year will go smoothly with none of the usual hiccups that I tend to come up against along the way! I am in a good place in life at the moment and feeling ready for whats ahead in 2012............BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!
