Positive Mental Attitude

[stevefoster]

45 today and almost a year to the day that I've been carrying knee injury (picked up on 3P and finally became unbearable on Rydal Round). I've learnt a lot in last twelve months about how to manage injury, but probably most important of all is to have a positive mind set. Hey, I may not be able to manage races such as 3P, Edale, Borrowdale etc., but I'm still able to walk and cycle in the hills. I've learnt to stop looking back to where I was at a year ago and have started focusing on little steps to full recovery. Did 20 min run in local woods on Thursday and it was sheer joy. My new positive focus seems to be bringing rewards, off to Lakes for walk tomorrow and weather looks really good, also, guess what postman delivered this morning? Fellrunner mag!! On the front cover is pic of runners finishing 3P, what more motivation could I need? Happy injury free running everyone. Hope to see you all at a race sometime soon.

Oh, and Happy Birthday, av a good un!
