Training is ...Glad to hear you're on the mend Kate. Training is as much a mind game as a challenge for the body I think. Being cautious in how far you push yourself, being consistent in the sessions you do and caring about your body enough to rest as much as you work it. These things will get you where you want to be. And of course, enjoy it! :)Runningbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736420417882057456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663785665483842124.post-7139463288429305332009-04-02T22:44:00.000+01:002009-04-02T22:44:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Runningbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736420417882057456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663785665483842124.post-67899521671140354312009-04-02T21:45:00.000+01:002009-04-02T21:45:00.000+01:00That's the spirit! ie more tea, more cake!
