Yep. Today was off the saddle and back onto the tarmac for a tentative nursery run having been told not to run for a week. I woke up and started to watch the marathon ... but the catholic in me made me go for my own run before I could enjoy it.
(I'm not catholic but if memory serves, I did have some catholic in me at one time.)
My wonderful friend Angel came for my run with me. We did intervals and I did some hills.
Good stuff happenned: My fitness has really stepped up a gear ... WITHOUT having run for almost 2 weeks. Muscles was right all along about those spinning bikes. 40 mins sweating your face off is having huge pay offs. The run today in terms of fitness was my first ever completely comfortable run. (crap for training but exactly what I was told to do) It felt amazing to be able to comfortably jog along ... really amazing.
And crap stuff happenned: My shin is really hurting. In the same place it hurt when I first went to the physio and I thought was now fixed. I strsapped it as shown, iced it when I got back, and did the special stretches I was told but it really bloody hurts now.
Back to the spinning bikes for me until I get to physio again, hopefully tomorrow or tuesday.
Dear universe. Please send me a healthy shin. I could really do with it right now.
