Have got surgery on my foot to realign my toes on 5th July. Consultant says that I should be on crutches after 3 weeks but to allow a minimum of 6 weeks off work!
Will still take part in Shine Night Half
Marathon Walk round London on 23rd September as planned.
Suddenly today though I decided to double it to 10
I think I chose the wrong day for such foolhardy thoughts though - it was stiflingly hot out there
;hmm
I had my first physio appointment on Friday, the good new was that it wasn't a slipped disc or anything really serious.
Problem is with the sacrum at the base of my spine and the muscles all around it are really tight which is making the joint soild.
She is happy that it can be sorted out and just after that session and doing the stretches at the weekend the pain is less. I'm back there next Friday for the next one.
She is also going to work with me on some core strength stuff to help support the muscle fatigue issues I have with my left hip which normally occurs after about 25 miles
I did make it clear that unless it was something that needed surgery the "don't run" option wasn't an option. Her remit is to get everything moving enough to make it through the Thames Path and 70 mile, two day even at the start of October. After that I can do non-running rehab stuff.
Yes I staggered round at about 9.5 mins per mile.
Want to try and keep it up though if possible - that'll be the challenge...
Make sure you don't do yourself any long term harm by pushing things too far beyond the advice given by your physio...
I hope you have a good run. I have sort-of-fond memories. But am full of admiration for those that go back year after year for more punishment. ;bowdown
You don't fancy a recovery day between the 2 runs, then?
So I need to know that I can handle them. I have 12 miles planned but a little stiff this morning. So I'll head out and see how things go.
Took the gels at 7 miles, by mile 8 I realised there was a problem. The mile "sprint" home was one of the most painful miles I have ever run.
Legs etc were all feeling good.
If the picture works, self and youngest having completed the Newham 10K and ended in the stadium. Frustrated by finishing 6 seconds outside my 60 minute target! Too much high fiving hammers fans on the way round.
Do you want to leave it up - I can remove it if you'd prefer. But she well deserves a moment of fame ;diva
They can admire your ability to learn new skills!

Here's my first post 70th birthday 10K - came second in the 66-70 division.
