Im coming back!

[Al Fowler]

Finally...after 5 months of not showing my face I feel I can now re-appear.

I dont want to blab on, but due to the nausea issue ive had, it completely stopped me running, cycling or doing anything physical what so ever, and I couldn’t face coming on here to post or even to look because I found it soul destroying.

Ive badgered and badgered my specialist at the hospital and Ive finally been put on some tablets that seem to be helping.

On Tuesday I went for my first run in god knows how long, on my old 4 miler I used to do across the field. I still felt abit naff, but nowhere near like I used to do, and although I wasn’t exactly flying my fitness is still in there somewhere.

Ive just got back from run no.3 of the week and felt pretty damn good today. Joss my dog has been with me on each run and it is an absolute joy to get out there with him, battle the elements, fight through the struggle of poor fitness and to get muddy again.

Im trying not to get too optimistic that im back for good, but at least its some progress. Im not setting any targets, goal or aims. Im just going to do my own thing, gradually get my fitness back and pray the tablets do the trick. My IT bands are tight as hell too so im going to have to make sure I dont over-do it and blitz the foam roller religiously.

Apologies for being a recluse for so long, but hopefully i'll be forgiven.

Al.

PS - My spelling isn’t any better so you'll have to get used to that again.

Great to hear from you Al. Me and merrylegs were only wondering where you'd got to t'other week

[Rodders]

Good to hear Al. What pills have they got you on? My gastric hassle is controlled by a daily dose of Proton-pump inhibitor.

So glad you are back Al Hope you get back to fitness and with none of that nausea malarky. Did they have any suggestions what the cause is?

Al i hope you go on to achieve what you want to. Quite a few runners and forumites have asked me about you over the last few months as i think they thought we urged each other on in races and on the forum. No one was more gutted to here of your plight than me. Your a very talented and motivated young man and deserve a break. Take your time and im sure it will soon come back.Keep us all posted and nice to hear from you.
