Had better years!

Well what a pretty bad yr running wise. I've been bad with the blogging as my running has been bad to me
First half of the yr I suffered osteitis pubis and a sportmans hernia. 5 months of no running from Jan to May
Finally getting back into the running from may and got through North Face 100km with 2 weeks of training then by mid June I was feeling all run fit again.
26th June I go in Woodford to Glenbrook. 25km in the Bue mtns and of all things my L5/s1 disc got inflammation in it and compressed on my sciatic nerve. The most painful 2 weeks of my life.
2 weeks of hardly being able to take a step on my right leg without a stabbing hot poker feeling pain shooting up my back
Week 3 I was able to walk with a limp but painful sharp hot poker stabbing pain
Week 4 was the same as week 3
Week 5 I was able to get on the exercise bike in the gym
Week 6 I ran on the treadmill at 7min k pace for about 6km
Week 7 I was able to plod outside but a painful back still
Week 8 I have a go at 10k and managed to do it in 48min, Did a run up Kincumber mtn and a trotters run. (the trotters run flared my back up again)

Well Its now the end of October and I've been back running for about 6 weeks. The pain in the back has pretty much gone. No more nerve pain from the damn sciatica and all is looking rosy.

I've managed to complete quite a few long runs as I've entered the GNW100 miler. I've also managed to run all of the 100mile course.
2weeks ago did relay for life. 2 days before the event I set a goal of running 100km. The night of that I was going great until 45km then started to get stomach cramps. I stopped at 52km and since we camped there I went to bed then got up about 6am and felt pretty good so at 6:30am I decided to get going again. I got another 38km in so 90km all up. Out of that run I pulled up with really tight hamstrings and achillies. I had to have the next 3 days off running because the hamstring was so sore. Back running again on the Thurs but still with tight hamstrings.

The next big run was the following weekend when I got up and ran trotters sat morning then went for an easy 24km bike ride then a 2km swim then after having a 90min sleep I went to Yarramalong where I met up with Levi, Rob and another runner at Midnight and we made our way to Patonga.
Most of the run I was running on my own. I arrived at Patonga at 8:20am. Felt really good until the last 5km. Still felt good at the end but was glad to be finished

Well that was last weekend and since then I've done
Tues - am easy 10k, pm - 4 x 1mile repeats in 6:31, 6:17, 6:09 and 5;54. That was done at adcock park. I guess I got around 12.5km done all up

Wed - am easy 12k, pm easy 10k

Thurs - Moderate run from Terrigal to Kincumber mtn and back. Just over 16km in 1:21 - tough run

Fri - easy 12km

So folks thats where I'm at
