Slight problem.....!

Oh dear... Thought my painfull foot was down to poor fitting trainers....

It had come out in a nasty looking bruise and was really painful so took the day off work and plodded down to the drop in centre. Got sent straight down the hospital who said they are 99% sure I have a stress fracture. Consequently I am on crutches and unable to drive and walk for 6 weeks!!

I would still love to do the Gurkha Challenge but when I can walk again I can only build up again gradualy so I am currently looking for a reserve, as I am really not sure if I will be ready. Having an x-ray on Monay so should have more info. I will keep you all updated.

I am sooooo gutted. :-)

Hot, Hurting and Hills!!

Went training with Mark today, first day I have been able to walk distance since last run. Made me run (well kind of crawl) up a massive hill 5 times!!! It was very hot today and it hurt!!.... but glad I did it.

Was unable to get injection last week as couldn't get time off work. Foot in bits again but plodding on and looking forward to training again.

See you all soon....

Hi

I have been unable to train since my last run with Mark! I don't know what on earth I have done but spent the following two days unable to walk. Muscles and legs were fine but my foot was and still is in bits. Really painful on my arch, think it may be the trainers but because I couldn't walk I couldn't take them back because I wouldn't be able to try them out.

Will aim to get there next week when I can run better and get them re-fitted. Am also having the injection for bursitis in my hip tomarrow so will talk to the doctor about my foot also.

Not happy as really wanted to get some decent training in this week...... See you guys soon.

Signed Up at last

Finally got round to signing up a new account after rebooting the laptop due to it crashing! My weeks training was 2 x 48 min mountain sessions at work followed by leg streeches. Did a 6 mile run in just under an hour. followed by next day breaking my 3 mile time getting it down to 25 mins :) had a days rest working in the garden moving soil and smashing slabs, then finished the week of walking the golf course as i played rubbish. Going to twickenham tomorrow to see the army v navy rugger match so will try and be ok for run on sunday might not be fit to drive thou :(
