My all-time favourite runner is US legend, Steve (Pre) Prefontaine.
He always said that to give anything less than your very best was to waste your talent.
As I laced up my trainers for my first 'jog' since July 19th I had that thought ringing in my head.
Sadly, the body won out and after about 900 metres of usual 'Pee pace' I was screwed. Puffing. Coughing.
My poor lungs were clearly blowing out the cobwebs and shaking off the after effects of chemotherapy.
I was forced to 'fast walk' for the rest of my session. A little frustrating. And a little naff looking.
However, my second 'hit out' this morning was much better.
I will stick at it. 'Cos I love running. Always have. And it's gonna be a vital part of my return to full strength.
Will let you all know when I'm back to my Kenyan best.
