Since my bicycle accident on 5th March, I've not been able to run at all. Initially I could hardly walk and as a result I've missed a few race including: the Lasswade 10miles; the Balloch to Clydebank Half; and, the one I was training for, the
Alloa Half. Looking at the results of these races, some runners have done pretty well and a few friends chalked up PBs. Well done to all. Me? I've been able to keep up a level of fitness by cycling and training on the
Elliptical (aka the cross trainer). I've got into the habit of doing 65min sessions on the
Elliptical and to overcome the boredom, I've been reading my running and photographic magazines. After running out of magazines, I reckoned that I could read e-books whilst training and invested in a
Kindle 3G. I'd been tyhinking about one for a while and this seemed like the ideal opportunity. I've been impressed. I had recently finished reading
Jo Nesbo's 'The Snowman' and decided to download a copy of his earlier work
'The Redbreast'. I haven't been dissapointed and I would recommend both books and the Kindle to anyone.

As far as my leg is concerned it's getting better everyday, I tried a wee run on the treadmill this morning but unfortunately had to quit after one minute. Never mind I'm seeing the physio on Wednesday, so hopefully the improvement will continue and I'll get back to running in the near future but for now it's the Elliptical, the Kindle and me......
