Not long now ... and worrying!

Yes it's getting closer and guess what! Yes this pixie is getting really frustrated at not running :-(

I'm listening to my body and noticing every niggle and wondering what it is. I'm doubting my ability to get round FLM with any running although I am still confident I can get round!

Having had the consultant say stress fracture and no need to ice or have physio I am almost turning int a coach potatoe. I am still having physio as I want to do everything to ensure FLM is as pain free as can be! but not icing much even though physio disagreed with the Prof and said ice (I ice if it hurts!)

I've stopped taking drugs (only take them if it hurts or I have a long gym session planned) so I'm more aware of the aching than before!

Problem is I'm only gyming as much as I was running (2-3 times a week) and I know the gym isn't as much of a workout as running, and I haven't been since Friday due to life getting in the way, work being an arse and CBA to go. I do have 2 long bike rides planned for this weekend and lots of gardening though!

I'm feeling a bit of a fraud saying that I am "running FLM" and now I am "doing FLM". I just hope I don't get mega injured as a result.

I think we are all spotting every niggle - not just you!

You can only do what you can do - I only did one run and one gym session last week - work, family, visitors ....

Looking forward to getting together at the weekend.

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 (...

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...

Ten Week Training Block

Monday is the start of a new 10 week training block. Well Ok it's the start of my second round of The Six Pack Revolution this time I am doing the sculpt program. I did Signature in May and did really well. Lost 21lbs and rediscovered my love of running lots (rather than just running!) which has meant that I have had a great, extended, training block for my race next weekend. Problem was that at the end of the 10 weeks I slowly but surely reverted to a lot of my old habits and as such have regained 4-5lbs. Luckily my running has kept it to just 4-5lbs - I know if I hadn't been doing so many miles then it would have been more. So next week I start again, and I am trying a different mindset. Instead of seeing it as a 10 week program I am thinking of it as a 10 week training block. The say Winter miles make for Summer smiles but also the winter is a time for more indoor training! When most runners hide away a bit but do more of the stuff we should do all year as we then have an ex...
