A very grumpy good morning to you all
I started this week so full of beans. 13.5 mile long run followed up by a 8+mile run on Monday and 7+ mile run on Tuesday. On my rest day, Wednesday, I started to feel some pain in my left ankle. A long time ago I did some damage to it being a twat on a football pitch. When I did the marathon in 2006 it was the only injury that recurred. I think it may be something to do with compensating for a dodgy left knee (ironically I have never had any pain running there!)
Having decided to have an additional rest day on Thursday, followed by a run today and a 15 mile run tomorrow, I hoped for the best.
If anything today it is worse with a lot of pain particularly walking up the stairs. At this stage I am not sure how bad it is but will have to rest this weekend. If it is no better by Monday I will have to go to a physio.
I am a bit gutted, the last 3 weeks of training have been fantastic. As ridiculous as it might sound I was actually beginning to enjoy the challenge of the longer runs getting longer and the shorter runs getting faster. This has set me back a bit. No matter I can concentrate on 'refuelling' this weekend and start afresh on Monday!
I am within touching distance of £2k so thanks again for your donations, it makes a huge difference.
In other news this week my no-so-little boy turned 6!!! Happy Birthday Sammy.
Have a great weekend, more running and blogs next week (fingers and ankles crossed!)
