Hi Everyone,
Has been quite some time but I thought it was time I checked in. :-)
The journey of running has been a hard one for me this year with many starts and even more false starts. Whether it's my body complaining abour old age or not but the injuries continue.
Things were going along really nicely getting some longer runs into me (15-16 kms). My body was feeling fine. Foot pain fairly minimal etc..... :-)
Unfortunately about 3 weeks ago I managed to get kicked (accidently) with high impact into the top side of my right foot causing ligaments to be torn :-( The pain has been not nice at all. Was actually on crutches for a few days until the pain settled down!
I went to the sport's doctor today and thankfully, with another week of rest I'll be able to get out there (with a slow jog).
The goal of course this year was to complete the Melbourne Marathon. Sad but true I'll probably be doing a 1/2 again.
Always next year I suppose... :-)
I am sooooo looking forward to one day getting back out on a TigerBoy loop on a Sunday morning! It won't happen overnight but it WILL happen! :-)
Take care everyone and hopefully see you soon.
Cheers.
