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
Could be all the standing in awkward positions while painting!!!!
It's hazardous is DIY!!!!
was hoping we might get out together sometime :<(
