Sorry for the lack of updates. This period has been extremely tough. It began with the pain/tightness I started to experience through my left hamstring. Not a crippling or overly intense pain, but more of a nagging feeling that doesn't allow me to straighten my leg properly. In this period the mind games have been the hardest to overcome and I haven't coped particiularly well through it all.
Mentally it has been a huge challenge. One can't simply push through it. The support around me has been fantastic and motivated me faster than I could otherwise do on my own.
Unfortunately my training has stopped and the progress halted and in reverse. Still as I search for positives I can only think that I have just over 6 months of hard training to go so if ever a break can be had, it is now
