Running in your bedroom slippers??
Hi everyone-well not alot to report-very slow transition back to the training programme since the well lull with the foot problem. Ran on the swamp, also known as Mitchell Park this day last week-felt okay-but wasn't too far; got a chance then to run on the 3G astrotruf pitch at Castlederg High School on Sat-ran for an hour-wow it's like running in your carpet slippers:) What do you mean you've never ran in your carpet slippers-you get the idea-....so not sure what kind of distance but reckon I will get another two sessions on that this coming week and see how the foot holds up before I revert back to my training programme....few more wee sponsors this week...just a few but still will be campaigning hard after Christmas....until the next time..

She's back!
Hi there-well a week on and 2 more physio sessions and lots of rest (v difficult) I have permission from Declan, my physio to try a few laps on grass pitch tonight and see how the foot holds up-26 miles seems a long way from a few laps but I guess I'll have to be patient. Hopefully be back on the road by the weekend so we'll see how things go then.Maybe the sun will have came back by then-or at least the rain stopped!
Til the next time

Marathon on Hold:(
Hi everyone
Nearly a week since the last blog....wishing I could stall things and come back with a bright and cheery blog but alas not to be...foot was sore all last week-never really eased-tried to take it easy at the weekend-even pampering these road weary paws with a pedicure....very nice-first one ever:) Ran on Monday 6 mile -sore every step of the way-and very sore then yesterday-went to see my physio last night-he fears it might be a stress fracture of the metatarsel? somewhere along the outside of the foot:( I will know more tomorrow when I go back to him-praying that it is just tendonitis; after 2 years of regular physio after surgery I was hoping I was done with this kind of pain and physio...but this marathon challenge is bigger than I thought and 4 operations later, my foot may be saying 'Are you kidding?'-any wee prayers to get me back on track would be appreciated-feeling pretty miserable-have school retreat today with 50 students from Castleblayney-great bunch but on my feet all day despite physio's orders to rest and ice!!
Keep you posted soon
