The end of a busy week

hmmmmm... OF&H seems to be grinding to a halt.

20th May is my next run but my knee isnt great so wondering if my running career is over before its barely begun. i havn't been to the gym for a week but then i did have the rumblings of a cold so probs just as well i've had a rest...

Long time NO post

11 days since my last post.
i cheered on the brighton half marathon runners and was kinda sad that i wasn't running - especially as it was such a beautiful day yesterday.

so... OF&H / injury update.

lauren - physio - thinks we've found the root cause of my knee injury. i should have written it down. something about deep in my muscle just above my knee cap i have a twitching something or other that pulls my knee cap.

i've had lots of very painful deep tissue massage today. i hurt. alot. and now my muscles around my right knee are really sore.
sad sad face.

so no running for a week.
i can x-train/row/cycle/weights but nothing impact.
my next run will be the denbies 10mile on 20th May. bloody better be better by then.

also the physio isnt cheap - its like i'm back smoking a packet day again with what physio is costing! £35 a pop. but to be fair, i'm sooooo glad i'm doing it.

think i would have totally fcked my knee if i hadn't of done physio. i would have ignored it, maybe rested it abit but then would have run again. re-aggrivated it again. would have done that a few times, maybe cried abit and then i would have given up running.
would have then done lots of comfort eating.
would have ballooned.
and would now be wearing a smock to work - my ankles would be cankles. no cycling as too vast. in fact probs by now i'd be confined to my bed and would need a carer to feed me and attend to other "stuff". 
so bloody hell - thank goodness i'm having physio!

what a week!

what an amazingly all over the place week...
it's only friday 10th feb yet it feels as if i've packed more into this week than i sometimes do in a fortnight!

Superbowl Sunday

What a great day so far...
i had a very early night last night - in bed by 9.30pm and slept through till 7.30am this morning.

nfl podcasts while eating breakfast.
gym for just over an hour

• 10min warm up power walk on a 4% incline = 0.8km
• 10min stretches
• 10min on rowing machine @3 = 1808m
• 5min xtrainer @10 = 0.31miles
• 10min interval training on ytreadmill = 1.25km
• 5min cool down walk on a 4% incline then stretches.

felt fabulous.

nipped home, grabbed my bike and cycled to santo lounge in shirley to meet the gang for luncheon. k's for cup of tea and a couple of moo's cookies (yum) home and now settled in for the night.

it's american football now all the way through to 4am tomorrow morning.
