Hi Ed,
thanks for your post yes will take it easy on the flat and let time be the healer.I think your right about allot of things..I didn't realize how obsessed i was to get back in shape.I think part and parcel of this was pressure stemming from an over ambitious father that was in affect paying my way and he wanted to see results sure i ran some good time but i was fifteen years younger and had a one track mind i hit 30 mins for 10k and remembered been happy for 3 days before the pressure was back on to go 29 well it never came and i slipped back to 31,32 after heated augments i parted waves with family and have remain like this since 2002 where i lived in France. i gathered myself again in 2003-2004 running high 31.45 10ks which was pleasing.So to end a short story i think your right time to enjoy life and stop gunning myself when things don't quite work out.On a nicer note i am quite fancying a full marathon in early December when Thailand a bit cooler...forgot to mention i haven't run under 32 mins for 10 k in Thailand maybe its the heat and humidity or just getting older regards and thanks jon.
