Up and Running
Discipline: Run
Distance: 4.55 miles
Time: 41:24
Av speed: 9:05 min/mile
Shoes: 2100s with thin heel raise
Right - first of all the weekend - absolutely fab, spent with great peeps - socialising, watching the Great Scottish Run (fab event) and going to see otters and seals near Oban. Must write a proper blog entry on all this - it was wonderful!
My knee has been giving me gyp for the past few days, as well as my toe on my right foot - it's one I've had osteoarthritis in, and Vrap's daughter jumped on it for fun at the weekend! On top of that, I spent half the night feeling absolutely yuck - a bad acid stomach and explosive wind from both ends :os Worst of all, I have no idea what caused it! I was taking gaviscon all through today, and really did wonder at the wisdom of running, as I thought I had some sort of bug as I felt quite dizzy and off balance at times at work.
Anyhow, set off and my knee twinged - I kept going in the hope it would ease off, and it did. I wasn't feeling fantastic, but not getting much trouble from my right ITB. I do wonder if this is something to do with swimming. Must keep an eye on that.
ANyhow, the miles passed, but with about three on the clock, the front of my left ankle started aching, which never really eased off. perhaps if I hadn't had all the trouble, I'd just view these as normal running niggles, but now everything takes on a great importance.
I'd measured the route without the loop down Worcester Road to the join with Grange Road, but my time wasn't looking like the route would be as long as intended (4.5 miles), so I added that bit on. Turns out that it was a pretty good adjustment!!
Right hip-flexor feeling a bit sore/tight afterwards, otherwise just minor twinges. Average speed a bit disappointing - slowing all the time the further I get, although not too much of an issue at the moment - building up distance is the prime objective

good run
I wonder if you'll be as fast as me when you get to 7m!??!! Nah doubt it!
Now take care and try to look at each niggle with fresh eyes, is it related or is it in the mind
