Ouch

Well yesterday's massage was an errr experience shall we say!! I'm back on Tuesday too!

Today my back feels tender, especially in the center at the base where she said the muscles were most tight. Almost feel bruised!!

Trying hard to sit up properly too but that's tiring so my core must be shot!

One thing she did say is try to do the exercises that the physio gave me too as he said my right hip was weak and it was the right lumbar area that had the muscle spasm. Oh and it will take 3-6mths of exercises to get the body to "fix" as such whereas I only really did my exercises for about 6wks max!! So back to laying on the floor in front of the TV and looking a pratt!!

Tomorrow we have the new washing machine and tumble dryer arriving which means I can start to work on the tonne of washing I have waiting for me since the current one went wrong! Oh what an exciting weekend I have!

Somewhere along the line I need to try and get some running in too!

Hmm and I've just moved a sofa into the office (got a new chair which is SO big that you could fit two of me in it now!)

so shall we all do synchronised ball exercises!!
this has higlighted my failures!! See even with my chair raised I flop on the keyboard making my shoulders tense and sitting up straight tired me out!

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

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...

Munchtime Run

Woke up feeling "coldy" ... tender throat, tired and headache. Decided the headache was due to lack of drink the night before as I was talking to Duck for 90mins! So had some paracetomol and drink and packed my kit! My reasoning being that even if it was a cold it was not "on my chest" so no harm in running and anyway the fresh air would do my head good! Spent most of the morning feeling pants too. Headache has still there despite drink and drugs but I had my kit so off I went.1.2m in and the batteries on my GPS died! This meant it was me and the smog filled roads and my watch. As I alter my route slightly every run (so I don't compare splits!) I didn't really know the distance or pace. I did know that when I got to the Ford garage that the office was just over 1m away and I had about 13mins left when I got there. Problem was that it wasn't much further before my legs said "you are having a laugh!" and I started to flag. As I knew I was having ...
