well since i last blogged which is too long to make this an interesting read, probably why nobody reads it or comments, I have had some physio done on my Achilles and calf of my left leg. the physio Ed, is the witton albion football team masseur, he has given me a lot of pain but I think hes done a good job so far. He has found an indentation in my left calf, which he says indicates bad tear of the calf muscle. the muscles surrounding this have tightened up and that's what he has worked on. when i originally went to him it was my Achilles that was painful, once he had massaged a few muscles the pain in the Achilles went, but it hasn't gone completely.
So since then I have tried a slow run of 2.8 miles, I walked a lot of this as I didn't want to do too much and set me back again, then today I did the same run but this time I ran slowly again but I did 2 miles non stop then I stopped to stretch for a short while and then ran the rest of the .8 miles home, all with no pain. As on the first run I think I'm just so conscious of the injuries that I'm not relaxing enough and tentative that I will hurt myself again.
So far so good, I've taken it easy, ran slowly and now I have another test, this Sunday I am running at Delamere forest in aid of the Stroke association, 10k so fingers crossed I can make it round in one piece if I m sensible.
