Give It a Rest!
Second Chiro session - back seems to be holding the alignment a lot better, although Sara did make some small adjustments. Amazingly she also found something wrong with my ankle, which I'd completely forgotten about!
The bad news is that my knee has swollen up. I suspect that this was as a result of Tuesday's run, that actually felt good at the time. We need to get the swelling down so we can see if there's any ligament caught in the joint or anything, as well as giving it a chance to heal, so that means six weeks off running. I am allowed to swim and do non-impact stuff such as cycling though.
Guess it all makes sense, and hopefully this will be a long term fix and lead to me running a lot better in the future as I'll be more aligned :o)

Considering that you are off for another longish period Bear, you sound remarkably up-beat.
I guess that if you can keep up your general CV fitness and condition with cross training and get fixed properly in the meantime, that the longer term goal of quicker, more efficient and hopefully injury-free running will be much more likely..!!
Best of luck with it all.

:o)
That's what I'm hoping Leon.
I think at the mo I'm feeling pretty confident that I'm on the right track. Hopefully that'll last!
