Physio update!
I went to see a physio in
Northampton yesterday. My pride was slightly dented when he failed to
hide a smirk when I told him that I’d damaged myself falling into a
ditch. Apparently this isn’t a ‘normal’ marathon runner’s injury. (Sulk)
Marathon runners wear lycra, carry loo roll and the blokes stick
Vaseline on their nipples. What’s he trying to say? ;)
But it’s
all good news. He thinks I jarred the joints in my lower back and the
muscles around it when I fell over, but the problem is muscular not a
joint problem. He’s given me a bit of an MOT and I’ve got a full range
of movement and there’s no nerve irritation. He spent a while giving me a
sports massage and easing the back and it feels huge amounts better.
I’m
going to jump back into the schedule and do the 5 mile fartlek or hills
session and then the 20 mile long run on Sunday. I’d like to do the
same route as last Sunday … but I’m going to drive it first to check for
flooding and to check where I got lost. I don’t want an action replay
of last week. And I promise … no jumping ditches. Well. No falling over
anyway.
Good new the injury is just muscular :) painful none the less no doubt. Just caught up on your last few posts, keep it up superstar !!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul! I did this weeks long run earlier and it was fine. Well ... a bit sore but I think that's part and parcel of running a long run, isn't it? Manky toenails, an urge to eat everything in the fridge and aching body parts!
