I am still basically running running running:)
I am aiming for 100Km's a week for the next few weeks before letting up a bit.
Right now my pace is about 4.20 pr. Km and I am looking to get that down to just over 4 mins.
I have a goal of 1600km (1000 miles) for 2014. It's all planned out. At the moment that's only about 30km per week.
Also decided to do 137 push-ups body weight squats & crunches a day for a total of 50,000 of each by end of year.
So far, so good :)
Did an outdoor bouldering session yesterday at a local crag with my son and a mate from the bouldering club. We did a lot or traversing and tried a couple of problems. It wasn't as good a workout as at the club but still good, esp in regards to building finger strength. I'm now holding on to crimps and pinches I never would have considered six months ago, and my core is becoming rock solid.
All I ate prior to the bouldering was a packet of beef jerky and a small tin of tuna. Afterwards I had a banana and a baked potato with spaghetti sauce on it.
Might do a weights session today, as I think I need to start building muscle mass again.
Here's a photo of my son traversing the crag.
Famous last words :D I had things all planned out until last April my ACL decided it didn't agree with my plans, LOL. All is well though. I'm back running and my weekly
mileage is more than when I tore my ACL. Best of luck to you and I hope you surpass your goals.

PS Have no fear, the injury wasn't from running per se, it was from playing hurling.
Thanks Birnando :)
Kerryman, I know I'm tempting fate with a statement like that :) Glad you healed up & are doing even more than pre-injury. I'm going to try my darnedest to surpass the goals but I think I'll be ok if I only make 1000km or 35,000 push-ups ;)
No workout for me the last few days. strained a hip flexor damn it last session (or the time before actually, the last time out just made things worse). Giving it a bit of time to settle, before easing back into things. Might get out on the bike for an easy session with distance and see if that works for now.
