So far, so good. I ran 6.5 miles, in mist and drizzle, so I know I can cover the distance. I had occasional knee twinges, but nothing to suggest that a 10k is beyond me, so I think the Hellingly 10k next Sunday is possible. (Note to non- Sussex readers: it's pronounced Helling-lie). have tried to find out how hilly it is; there are contradictory views of the difficulty of the hills here and there around the web, but people seem to agree that the harder hills are in the first 5k.
The following Sunday will be the Hove Prom 10k, which is flat and fast. The toughest target comes at the end of the month, the Barns Green half. I haven't run a half-marathon since February, long before my injury, and I have one free Sunday for a long run, but I think it will be all right.
From tomorrow, I shall abstain from intoxicating liqours.
