“Every day, in every way*, I’m getting better and better”
*well… in a foot/tendon/resting/pain kind of way.
The Nottingham Robin Hood Marathon is on 29th September 2013 – 3 weeks away.
My foot is getting better. I can now point it up and down without a crunching sound and I can walk on it without limping, which is a huge improvement. But I’m being sensible for once, and I am continuing to rest it.
Mostly.
Well, cycling seems fine.
So I took the little lady (that’s my daughter, by the wa I’m not being sexist) out on the bike, in the rain, for a longish ride where we managed cheer on Richard Whitehead at two different points during his 40 marathon JOGLE challenge.
He looked a bit grumpy if I’m quite honest… but I don’t blame him… He was on Marathon 25 and it was grey and rainy. I think he’s doing a fantastic job!
His fellow runners, it has to be said, were full of beans.
And I’m sure they were all rolling around in hysterics upon seeing my pre-placed signs slightly further along his route announcing the cessation of rain (just before a tunnel/bridge/underpass)… and the subsequent resumption of rain (you’ve guessed it… at the exit of the tunnel/bridge/underpass).
I mean… Seriously… I sometimes even surprise myself with my genius.
So there we have it.
Another running blog update involving me NOT running. I hope I can report more action in a week or two. Otherwise it will just be more randomness.
Speaking of which… Can you tell me…
What common running related injury is depicted below?
Answers on a postcard (or alternatively in the comments section).
Pointing toes? Ballet next! Tights
Required obviously!
Can I wear my running ones, do you think?
Not sure Bolshoi would allow that!
Hm I’m baffled all I’m comin up with if Herbshitleritis and I’m sure that’s not a thing, although it is a good word to describe what happens to my stomach if I try a new gel at about mile 11 of a long run 🙂
I’m so thick – you even gave me the answer in the comment of my blog yesterday! I’m a blonde essex girl living up to my name…
Haha… I did indeed 🙂
… but I think your answer above is just as good, if not, better.
I was really hoping Richard Whitehead might come through Sheffield at some point on his marathon journey but sadly didn’t 😦
