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.

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...

Stoppy Sulking Pixie

Ok so if you remember (assuming you were listening!) yesterday I mentioned that today would be swimming! Fraggle had given me some advice on how to improve my front crawl so off I went full of enthusiasm ready to master front crawl! 40 mins later I sulked out of the pool annoyed and frustrating and failing to master the front crawl! See like a lot of casual swimmers I "thrash about making a lot of splashes!" when doing crawl and this means my HR sores and I die at the end of 1 length needing 3-4mins recovering at the side of the pool before I attempt to swim another length in any stroke! Fraggle pointed out that if I place my head in the water properly (like look at the bottom of the pool rather than half under) then slow down, breathe out when in the water the breath in as your head leaves the water (I know what I mean even if you don't!) then it will be easier! Sounded good and practice breathing in the house went well!! I get in the pool - this is it. I can do this! Oh...

Back Fecked

Today has been an exciting one! Wake up and take 20mins to get to the bathroom which is en suite! By this time I am in tears with a cold sweat and feeling nausious. Gnome had to help make breakfast and I had a yoghurt as that involved no bending down for cereal or bowl! Walked Gnome to school - normally 15mins today over 20mins; it's half a mile. Took me 20mins to walk home alone after. Called Drs. Appointment 1 with Dr about back @10:40. I have inflammed back muscles, a large packet of high strength prescription on anti-inflamatories and advice to go back if no better by Tuesday/Wednesday. Oh and that I can self certify sickness for 7 days "work will be very uncomfortable if you work at a PC all day" Yep this is true 5mins here is enough! Appointment 2 @11:25 (I didn't bother leaving!) for nose zapping. Back too sore to notice if nose hurt but now the anesthetic has worn of it hurts!! So I'm feeling just FAB today! Running - err me finks not!
