Dr Said

Well I saw the Dr and she was lovely.

BP back to normal and she watch my range of movement but that was about it. Conclusion is I have "muscle trauma" aka whiplash. Apparently 90% of whiplash cases are better within 2 weeks. Forgot to ask about running so Leon/Ruth etc please advise!

She told me to take lots of drugs (so no drinking this week!) and take the week off work. Stay pain free and move, don't do neck collars anymore as they stop you moving and make things hurt!

Today I have discovered by coughing that the sides of my abdomen hurt. My upper left arm hurts (probably held the wheel too long) and my neck is stiff, mainly left side. The seat belt burn is also very painful!

I did snooze this afternoon but woke up as the car span round. Dr did advise that there may be flash backs etc. If I am still sore by the end of the week then go back!

Still main thing is I am alive and mainly unhurt.

Waiting for garage to collect the rather battered car. As it is under a year old if the cost of repair is greater than 60% of value then I get a new one. So now we wait and see!!

Good advice from the Doc. A good view point from yourself as well. I ain't a medical person but I wouldn't run if I were you.

I'm not allowed alcohol at teh moment either but I find chocolate minstrels very theraputic

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...

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...

Smiley Happy Pixie!

I've been for a run!!! Yep it's true! Well back was fine after driving and doing the shopping ysterday as well as mowing the lawn. I watched the GNR and was jealous I wasn't running so ... I did 40mins of solid running .... longest solid run since Feb! Back fine - only niggle is shoulder from the ouch this morning when I was taking my tablets! No idea why! Felt really good and pace was much better than I expected .... not run for 10 days now! So 3.424m in 40:17 av pace 11:44mm (11.39,11.57,11.39,11.51) very happy! Really enjoyed it and really pleased! So back to training next week (and work). Tomorrow will be 50mins of walk run with a long run in the middle. Wednesday speedwork on the tready and Friday 40mins solid on the tready as hubby has to go to work early. Leaving a long run at the weekend. Fingers crossed!
