On the Bench again!!

I last ran on Friday morning, lovely easy run , feeling great!!

Got up early sat morning and thought as it was a lovely morning I would go and buy a couple of big pots for my new dwarf fruit trees. Brought them home and then instead of waiting for my son to come round I went ahead and dragged 2 big bags of potting compost over and potted the trees up.

Straightened up and my back was a bit achey .... as the day wore on I could barely move and was in agony. I took ibuprofen, then later sprayed Deep Heat and eventually gave in and took Naproxen. Didn’t touch it!!!

Spent the night in agony, then Sunday more painkillers and deep heat and thought I was feeling better. Woke at 4.00am and realised I wasn’t!!!

So today I have booked a sports massage with the lovely Emma, unfortunately not till tomorrow afternoon, as she is really busy just before she goes on maternity leave. But she knows my little issues and was instrumental in sorting my ankle out so fingers crossed.

And I was well into jujus plan, might have to drop back a bit
