D Day

I have been able to walk around without any discomfort from my hamstring since Wednesday so it definitely is on the mend.

I have just come back from the Gym at work. I did a very gentle 20 minutes on the exercise bike. I then did some stretching and then did 5 minutes on the treadmill at around 7 m/Ks. At no point did I feel anything.

But if my hamstring has a noticeable reaction when I cool down after that amount of exercise, I would think that there will be no chance of me starting on Sunday. If there is no adverse reaction then I will take my chances and line up at the start and see what unfolds.

It obviously would have been better if all had gone well but I still feel there is room for improvement in my fitness and speed. So another year of training is going to get me in better shape and a better time than I could have got in this race, so looking at the big picture it is not really that important. On the small picture, it is dissappointing as it has been a focus since Gold Coast Half last year. It still may all come together by Sunday.
