So I have been running very little if at all. Kind of strange thinking about how I found time to run in the past, right now I have zero spare time whatsoever it seems. I've pretty much given up on the internet since it's such a time suck. The only time I have to run is at night and motivation is pretty low right now to run! 

I can feel my strength has slipped since stopping my calisthenics in December. My ability to hammer out push ups is gone. I can tell my endurance from running has lapsed as well. Oh well, as mentioned time to focus on preventative measures which I can sneak in around kids.

Still rolling with the high fat diet and I feel great. I haven't lost much weight, not that I have much to lose anyway, but that's not my goal. My main worry is vitamins and minerals but I eat a ton of greens and vegetables so I'd guess that's covered. Besides if guess I'd feel like crap if I was deficient. As long as I'm getting a variety I would guess I'm ok.

Hernia op in about four weeks, then it's time to focus on rebuilding to be stronger and faster! 

So it begins. A little planning ahead. Signed up for the Beacons Ultra in mid November. 46 miles, two loops, around the Brecon Beacons in Wales. I did this race in 2012 (?) and loved it. 2013 I intended to do it but was burnt out. So, hopefully 2015! Hopefully in addition to a hundred like Ćotswold.

Been doing some research on "prehab" for running. I'm essentially looking for things I can do now and post surgery leading up to full hernia recovery to bullet proof my body against injury. Ordered a book specifically on the topic which I'm looking forward too. I'm guessing it will be lots of simple exercises such as things a physio would prescribe. This could fill the time and the need that running and my body weight routin fills until I'm back in action. 

Seems like a good habit to build now.
