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!

would that be a Swiss Gym Ball perchance..?

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!)

:-D

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!

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

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...

Time Trial Time!

I’m very poor at pushing myself and doing speed work but recently I’ve started doing a virtual mile “race” each month and 5k too. Last weekend I got a season best on my mile at 10:50 which isn’t fast but the fastest I’ve run for way over 10 years! Today I did a speedier 5k. My last couple have been on the same “course” at home but today I was having my car MOTd so ran were I was. This meant a lot of corners and looping so I wasn’t expecting any improvement but I managed to take 5s off my time!  Ok so again not fast at 36:42 but I’m slow and fat! and I’ve been running for distance and endurance for the last few months.  My “A” race is next weekend after that I’m going to try and work on my speed. I’ll be doing a 5m race series over the winter which will hopefully help.  So I’ll using Ami’s teachings and focusing on imagining working hard to keep going when it hurts.  I won’t get to PB shape yet (well possibly not!) but I hope to take minutes off the best tim...
