I can't believe I allowed my emotions to get the better of me yesterday and that I even started to think about a PI claim. Grrr very annoyed with myself for that.
Anyway life goes on.
So what else happened this weekend. Well not too much really. I did do a run on Sunday at 6:30AM (no silly umbrella was stopping me run! At that time I felt fine) As I was at mum's she had left the key out for me. I made up some sports drink and drank about 250ml before I left. Then promptly walked out of the house, left the key in the door and my water on the kitchen table! Oh and the door needs a key to open!
Head said - it's only 80mins of 3R:2W so no problem! The first 2-3 sets where fine and the HR was topping at the 160's and dropping to 140's (or below) which is good. I did 5.5m in total and the last few sets saw the recovery rate the same but HR going up to the 180-190's which was the same as Wednesday's speedwork! The pace was a fairly steedy and consistance pace with the running being about 11.30-12.30mm and each mile being between 13 and 14mins consistently so the heat was effecting me (see HR!) but I was managing just to keep the pace fairly consistent!
Got home and no one was up so I couldn't get in so instead I lay on the wet dew covered grass in the shade of the house and did 10-15mins stretching. Then some sun bathing whilst waiting for someone to get up!
Then I showered had a cuppa tea and about 1l of drink and walked to the paper shop 0.6m away. Got there and bought a 500ml bottle of water and necked it in one! By the time I got home I needed another shower!
Saturday afternoon saw the umbrella incident! We got our shopping free not that it was much, some tomatoe plants for mum and some bird feeders for us (Gnome has been watching the BBC's Springwatch!). At that time I didn't think I had even hurt myself as I felt fine. In hind site I think I was also putting up the "don't worry mum and Gnome" defenses as it wasn't until I was driving home Sunday that I noticed the stiff sore shoulder and started to feel really emotional and teary.
I saw the Dr yesterday as my shoulder was stiff still and raising my arm or moving it did produce some noticable ouchness - driving a manual now means that every time I change gear I feel it! So no work yesterday or today. It's feeling better today than it was so hopefully it will recover quicker than the 7-10days the dr said. She said the metal strut had hit me on the shoulder joint (as she pushes it hard and says "does this hurt?"!!) but that nowt much can be done. Didn't even think that icing would help much. But she did confirm that running should be OK!
Anyway yesterday was still stupidly hot so I had that as a rest day - well I did walk to/from the village 3 times so over 60 mins walking so not total rest! I was going to get up early today and run but the sleepy head monster got the better of me! :-D
Hubby has just got back from the tip with 5 bags of "council compost - peat free organic compost from the gardens of Leicestershire" so much gardening for this weekend! The soil here is awful so hopefully that will improve things. Need to plants some more lettuce and re-pot the peppers and cucumba plants too. See I'm getting all green fingered! Miracles do happen!
Anyway cuppa tea calling! Laters gaters!
