Well apart from allowing coach Spans to persuade me to enter a swimathon the news for today is as follows:
Heel felt fine!! Yippee!
Got caught in rain at lunch and did the 100m dash to the office with no niggles!! Yippee!!
Collecting Gnome from school, and hubby gets home declaring he has a cold. :-(
This evening heel has been nudging me and waving with the "I haven't left you!" evil cackle. :-(
Also lower back has been niggling the last couple of days :-( so ordered support for work.
Now here is my problem. (Hint - Coach I need help!)
Reading is 6.5wks away.
Swimathon is 3.5wks away.
Do I ignore any atempts to run and remove the temptation by saying no running just swim, aqua jogging and loooooong bike rides until after the swimathon. This would give the heel plenty of time to heal(!) and I should maintain fitness.
Or do I try to do little jogs as soon as I go a day without noticing anything? Would that delay recovery?
Oh and incase anyone is wondering .... 5K is aprox 35mins to run 10m is an hour on the bike and 500m in the pool is again about 30mins so there is no way I would even consider a short tri as everyone would have gone home before I finished and I am so slow the effort would exhausted me and and and NOOOOOOooooo
[slaps Leon for even jesting about an IM!]

hence my problem ..... the temptation to run is well tempting!!
((((((())))))))))
When using it you have to be very upright in the water otherwise you tend to lean forward and can hurt your lower back. It'll feel almost like you're *too* upright (and doing the ministry of silly runs) but that's the correct way :o)
I had all the grannies going "oooh, that looks like hard work" when I used mine !
I can feel the odd looks starting now!!
Had enough from work trying to work out what I had delivered!!
and Leon is being daft! I am going to flounder I mean swim the 2500m! and No no no tri!
Mine is sat by my desk and I am resisting the urge to try it on and fit the belt whilst at work!! Think I will get enough strange looks at the pool without having more here
BTW you need to add comments to you blog!
