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!!!!

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

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...
