Hmmmm

Well since i last spoke my bone scan report has come back clear and the Dr has said she can zap me nose to stop it bleeding!

Gnome's bedroom has been finished - great cross training for 2-4hrs each day since Sunday! He also turned 8 today so we visited Cadbury World! Yummy is all I can say!

Now for the reason behind the hmmmmmm

In Feb I had a stress fracture/reaction diagnosed by the physio and a BUPA sports consultant.

8 wks off running (loads of cycling) and I trotted round FLM in 6hrs46

After 2 weeks off I started a walk run program and things were going great!

I had an easy week the week before last as I was shattered from life. Last week wasn't much better.

This week I haven't run since sunday due to painting related activities which has proved great cross training!

Today I have noticed that the leg that was bad in Feb is iffy.

Walking home from the villiage (10mins each way) I got a slight cramp like feeling at the back of my knee on the top outside edge of the calf.

When I got home I did the general leg prodding which made me realise that there is a sore/tender/bruised and slightly puffy area on the inside of my shin again but higher up than before. My calf is still tense now where it hurt early too.

Given I haven't run for 5 days can anyone suggest what's caused this. Also I was planning a longish (6m) run tomorrow as I can't at the weekend - should I abort? And should I worry about my leg?

Any advice welcome before I stress!

i think your consultants diagnosis is crap
first he said it was a fracture-which was quickly changed when you spoke of dexa scans

maybe you need to see someone else


in the meantime-just go out for a 3 miler-se what happens

Absolutely - a gentle 'test it and see' is a great idea.

Could be all the standing in awkward positions while painting!!!!

It's hazardous is DIY!!!!

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

An Update

Just for bear!! he-he I was very tempted just to say that but I shant!! If, like bear, you wondered where I am these days ... well mainly on Fetch and RealBuzz as I can get to both of those places during work. Unlike the old days, when I was at college and the old work place, I can't chat all day and I don't tend to go online much at home. Anyway that promised update. Good News: I won a 32" LCD TV!! I'm running 6 times a week! I'm using not wearing my HRM. I'm averaging 20m+ a week now!! Bad News: Despite lots of running I'm still err lardy because I'm comfort eating constantly. My phone is by my side 24/7 and I am expecting a call any time, to be honest I am amazed grandma is still with us, so yes I'm expecting the call, dreading the call and stuffing my face. Good job I am running lots then really! I'm worried it will become a habit though so I am trying to adjust the eating, I'm trying to bring in lots of fruit and eat that, or low fat ...
