Entry to the virtual London Marathon 2021 is now open. It seems to be less popular than expected. The organisers do a lot of advertising. Regarding Boris Johnson's reopening plans one can hope that the usual London Marathon can take place on Oct 3rd. I cautiously begin to believe in this. Everybody will be vaccinated by then, maybe overseas runners will need a test but that will be okay. Fingers crossed.

For me there is a new problem to get back to proper training. While hiking in the local woods I fell on the ice and damaged my left shoulder. Nothing broken but one tendon is cracked completely and two others partly. A very painful experience that will take up to 3 or 4 months till I will have fully recovered. No chance to ride my bike outside now but luckily it is no problem indoors. And cautious jogging is possible, too. Could have been worse.

Groundhog days

The good news is that the MRI showed that my hip joint is fine, no arthrosis found. However the pain forced me to stop any kind of activity. 

The suprising detection is that I don't really miss the daily activity. I nearly feel like I had never done any sports. I am eating the same amount of food as before and wait for taking on weight. Well, Covid life isn't really exciting but I seem to get accustomed to the endless row of groundhog days. I know that I am in a privileged situation. While others have to fight for their livelihood my only trouble is that there is no chance to spend my monthly pension.
