Have finally given in and had to admit that my body is basically falling apart. Any stretches/strengthening just seems to aggravate injuries new or old and I feel like it's going nowhere. Been struggling since the beginning of the year and managing to run throughout although recently down to one short run a week. Now decided to knock that on the head and try and recuperate with the hope that I can be fit enough to start the LDMT even if I end up walking it. There are some good things about growing old (just had my second vaccination) but equally some pretty crap ones and injuries and recovery seem to be one of them. Ho humm...
