At the moment my hip aches but I'm gradually getting back into the running, and as the hip is aching a bit less when I run I like to think it's getting better.
Talking to some folk the other day, all the wrong side of 40, it seems everyone I spoke to is carrying a niggle, seeing a physio regularly, or resting an injury.
Last time I did the Fellsman I was amazed at the amount of people there wearing knee braces and so on.
So...is it a tribute to our stoicism that we battle on regardless, or are we just plain daft?
