Hi All,

It's the eve of the Melbourne 1/2 Marathon event for me! This time last year I was quite nervous and didn't know what to expect. This year I'm going in feeling confident and looking forward to a fun run tomorrow!

I know right now I won't be beating my time from last year because I'm simply not going to try to do it!...

Hi All,

I have to say it's great finally feeling like a 'runner' again.. Even in the few weeks that i've been back running I've noticed that my endurance is increasing, very very quickly at the moment and I feel my body getting back into the prior fitness it had.

With the more relaxed runs I'm finding my heart rate has dropped...

Hi Everyone,

Some really good news for everyone... :-)

My treatment with my physio has fantastic... Actually only 3 sessions with him but I've been doing my exercises 'constantly' for the past six weeks! :-) and what a difference it's made.

I stopped running for a couple of weeks whilst the initial techniques were taught to me.... The...

So Far So Good! Plus A Great Week Of Running!

Hi Everyone,

Time for an update….

I must say… and surprisingly the news is good so far…

The whole 'learning how to walk thing' is actually progressing along VERY nicely.

I'd say that 60% of the pain that I was experiencing with walking and running has disappeared…

I am constantly aware of my feet being in the 'bad' or 'good'...

Hi Everyone,

I wish I could say after 4.5 weeks that i was feeling great, rested and recovered...

alas it simply isn't the case......

my right ankle continues to give me execrating pain and the left foot (sesamoid) hurts when I walk (but not so much as when i first had the injury)...

I really thought that I'd be pain free by now.......
