About Me | |
---|---|
Started running 07 after a nasty mountain bike accident end of 06 (a week in hospital and a spot of plastic surgery) put me off mountain biking. (See fetcheveryone.com/gallery-showphoto.php?id19442 for gruesome detail!) Decided running on 2 feet couldn't be as dangerous! Edinburgh Marathon 08 was the goal. Joined a club, did some training, got injured, got physio'd and fixed. Did it in 3:42. Pleased with the time. Loved the experience. But most of all I love the feeling of running, the camaraderie of the club and the lovely, lovely land of fetch. You are all wonderful! heart Update: Fetch Festive Calendar wanted an update. Errr, I'm not a parsnip. There you go.

How do you pick yourself up when you need to? Cake. Chocolate! *cayke* and *chocolate* Seriously, just try and remember how lucky I am, loving family and friends, general health and well being. Others with far greater obstacles, battling daily, still smiling. I never lose mojo for running. :-) |

Nice to get out, but annoyingly the right calf / HFL (hallucis flexor longus, lower down calf slightly outside, towards achilles tendon) was aching part way through and tight and tender afterwards. I've not been doing enough calf or HFL strengthening I don't think. Hope I'm OK for Sat national cross country and don't make it significantly worse. Great to be out though - bright, cold, some spring green coming through. And light at start of working day and just still at end too coming out of office. Which is nice. Next week off work with kids coming which is fab, and hoping kitchen building work will be done at the end of the week as promised. G

Scottish National Cross Country at Falkirk Callendar Park. Great to be in KRR colours - 8 men, so didn't need to count for the 6. Just as well! 6 for ladies too, so full KRR teams. Didn't hurt myself too much. Bit tight after, but OK. Hope no damage done! G

Ice skating with the grandson! There's a bit of HR there! Mostly fear, probably, though I did go round a few times. G

Bit of Sunday gym, after the kids went back on Sat. Lovely week with them. Needed this bit of gym and must get more regular on gym, run and other x-train. Worst month ever at only 5 hours in Feb?! Usual foam roller, leg stretches, squats, lunges, heel drops, bridges, just one of each, sit ups, plank, side planks, wobble board side raises, curls and presses, machine pull down and chest press. Sauna, jacuzzi, steam room after. Then couch for athletics and bit of moving fridges, freezers etc. to continue the new kitchen tidy up. G

Usual gym. Need to go midweek more. And fewer bics and sweets grrr! Usual stretches, foam roller. Right calf still stiff, sore and tender to touch and stretch. Hopping was OK but only if done in certain way, could feel bad too, so careful with that. Usual sit ups, plank, side planks, squats, lunges, single leg squats, heel drops (x 2), bridges, single leg bridges, wobble board side raises, curls, presses, machine pull down, bench heel lifts with 14kg weight on each knee and bench flies / press.

Usual gym, but two days in a row! Need to go midweek more. And fewer bics and sweets grrr! Usual stretches, foam roller. Right calf still stiff, sore and tender to touch and stretch. Hopping was OK but only if done in certain way, could feel bad too, so careful with that. Usual sit ups, plank, side planks, squats, lunges, single leg squats, heel drops (x 2), bridges, single leg bridges, wobble board curls, presses and tricep, just to vary a bit, machine pull down, bench heel lifts with 14kg weight on each knee and bench flies / press. Then a swim. Only after I got to gym thought it was mild 10C and no wind, could have done first paddleboard of year?! Nice. G
