For me now i will just be powerwalking round and enjoying the views, if there is no pain - be a bleeding miracle- i will jog the downhills. i will also be replacing gels with codeine pills, maximum strength! Moan over - it will be a great day and there will be many new people to meet and chat too.
You'll be right TT, I did OCT in May then didn't run above 10m between then and L50, also found out after my under active thyroid was way down, had a blood test the day before L50, no wonder I fell asleep on the coach to Dalemain.
Best of luck, take it easy
