The annoying groin strain may be with me for some time. A long job if my 'research' is anything to go by.

One runner, to my knowledge, has been sidelined for almost a year. Now he's starting back with 1mile barefoot runs.

I've even 'heard' that England's Rooney is still nursing a groin injury from September...??? Well, if that's the case, it doesn't bode well for a runner like me now in his mid-60s.

I hope it's not going to mean THE END.

Runs completed in last 2 weeks:
3 mile jog along beach near Alnmouth.
