On the 27th of January last i suffered a brain injury which nearly took my life.Now with perspective firmly in view i have been handed a great gift.Eight months on from the brain heammorraghe i have been given the green light by my neurosurgeon to return to running.I can run 3 times a week for the next 6 weeks and then reassess where i'm at.So today Monday the 26 of September i am starting an unlikely training log.

1 Mile @ 11:40 pace.

Life is good

best of luck - hope you enjoy every minute of your running - you'll certainly appreciate more than most of us the ability to just be able to get out and do it. Good luck

Can't imagine how tough 2011 has been for you. The very best of luck with your return to training

Fair play man, good luck with this..we all take it for granted as a privilege, so when we see it from the other side you can appreciate it more. Anyways, good luck with this and many happy miles for you.

the very best of luck with the log will be reading it with interest. Enjoy running again must be a great feeling

That does put things in perspective. Best of luck with the recovery.

No run today as i have to do what i'm told at least for the next 6 weeks.i did my light exercises for core and leg strength,muscle atrophy has taken its toll on my body.
I walked for 2 miles at a relitively brisk pace wanted to do more as it was a glorious day but stuck to my plan.

Best of luck on the road back. It takes alot of courage to start back from scratch after such an year so this log truly an inspiration. I will be following with great interest as it is rare you get to see someone truly appreciate running regardless of times and competitions and to see the joy in every mile

Will keep an eye out on this, best of luck

Thanks everybody for all your kind words of support,it's a great source of motivation.I most likely will never run too fast again but i will enjoy every step.I also get great support from my friends when walking and running,my balance/co-ordination and hearing has been damaged by the bleed so i can not run unaccompanied just yet.Fatigue is also debilitating sometimes, so today i only walked a mile and a half , i'm having a bad day today.Going to try and run a mile or so tomorrow after a good nights sleep!

Ran 1 mile yesterday with my buddy,was not feeling very energised but was glad to get out in the glorious weather.Patience is going to be critical in the next few weeks.hope i can persevere.hope to build up to 1.5 miles by the end of next week.

1 mile @ 11;50

Did my long run(relitively speaking) today,i ran the massive total of 2.14 miles in 20mins 46secs.
Very happy with workout,it actually felt like a proper run.

Tough run today had to quit after 1k,Felt weak and tired.It's going to be a long slog back to any level of fitness.

After your longest run to date since you got back the other day that probably took its toll not to mention the weather. Keep it up consistency is the key, enjoy it and you will suprise yourself with the improvements you will make over coming weeks/months

Back on track today.I ran 1.54 miles this morning,felt pretty good and got my last run out of my system.did a light core workout then had to sit down for a while!!!

1.54 miles @ 10:54 pace
