Starting slowly.

The shoulder is getting better, tiny bit at a time. Still taking painkillers but at least only panadol. Was saying to the physio that i have never had to take them for so long before, even after knee surgery. He kindly reminded me that shoulders are notorious for being painful and expect to still be taking them for another couple of weeks.

So with the...

This Sucks.

Here i sit, arm in a sling, near constant pain and feeling just a bit sorry for myself. I should have known that the surgeon would find a bit more wrong when i had shoulder surgery just over a week ago. It turn out i had a partial thickness tear in the rotator cuff tendon that needed fixing. So instead of a reasonably quick couple of weeks recovery, its 6...

MRI results are in and dont i feel like a goose. Should have seen a doctor when i first crashed the bike. Diagnosis is: Malunited collarbone fracture, arthritis in AC joint, torn tendon in elbow and bone spurs. All can be fixed with surgery.

So, i dont need my shoulder to get back to running. I will just re-adjust some goals, and stop sulking about...

Starting back at the beginning.

Injuries suck. That is one thing i have learnt over the past 12mths. First it was shin splints, then it turned into a stress fracture of the tibia, then that healed and the tendinitis hung around. Throw in a crash on the pushie that damaged the shoulder and its been a bummer of a year.

Finally get the leg sorted, do a triathlon in February and low and...

Wow, its been 5 mths since i last wrote anything and i suppose that is because i had nothing to add. Its taken this long to be able to get back into running. Im still on the slow road back to running. The stress fracture healed well but the lingering Tendonitis in the shins has been problematic. I can...

Very Slow Process

Well another 6 weeks down and still making tiny improvement with the leg. This is a very frustrating journey. I know that my leg is slowly improving, but it is such a slow process that sometimes i just want to give up and say stuff it and go running. Sometimes it seems to be two steps forward and one...

6 Weeks Down 6-8 To Go

Check up with the physio yesterday and things are healing well, but i have at least another 6 - 8 weeks of no running or long walks.
I can start back at spin classes (2 a week) and if that doesn't aggravate the leg then in another week i can start riding my bike but no large hills, big gears.
Its very frustrating not being able to run, i miss it but i...

Tri Pink 2010

Posted by paigebaby , 17 October 2010 -

· 76 views

What is it with Tri Pink and the wind. Last year it was the dust storms, this year it was a cold snap that produces a most awesome crosswind and cold weather. I suppose we can consider ourselves lucky it wasnt held in Bathurst, then we would have had snow to deal with as well.

In any case it doesnt matter, it was still a fabulous day out with friends. ...
