The purpose of this blog is to record my progress towards 365 days of running. So here's an update on progress - I am injured. Nothing too bad, it's not going to stop me, but it's worth noting in case it becomes significant.
I think it was Carrie Craig that once described an injury to me as a "whinge-ury" and I thought it was hilarious. I am not sure where my current afflictions sit on the injury/winge-ury scale.
First of all - my toe. Second toe on my right foot is bruised. Kata says it's from the hill race because it's the toe that sticks out furthest and it gets pressure applied to it going down hill. It's sore when I run in my Mizuno Wave Rider 16 shoes, but my slightly looser Mizuno Wave Rider 17 shoes don't bother it. Problem solved! Verdict? Whinge-ury.
Second, my lower back is sore. I have had a bad lower back for years and years and last September I was badly afflicted to the point I couldn't get out of bed, so I am always wary of feeling anything in my back. Today I just went out for a wee 5km run and it was manageable but I am super paranoid. I did pilates this morning after the run and I am going to try to keep that up every day. I do not want a sore back again full stop, never mind the devastating impact it will have on this challenge. I have also decided best not to run the Clydeside races I was going to this week. I am going to take it easy this week and see how it goes. Verdict? Injury.
In the mean time here is a picture of Kata out running for tho first time since her own injury. We managed a wee 3km yesterday easing her back in and an easy one for me too after Saturday's half-marathon.
