Hi there lovely friends! Been on the Injury Couch with mysterious foot pain - didn't really hurt when I was running but the top of my foot was painful when walking about, especially in flat shoes. The pain was very similar to the ache in my other foot a few years ago when I broke my 5th Metatarsal or whatever it is; not when I actually broke it (that was agonising and swollen) but the ache while it was getting better. So I decided the best thing to do was rest.
Well! How frustrating is not running?!?!? For 99% (I worked it out) of my life on this earth, "not running" hasn't been a problem. In fact, I would say that "not running" was my happy place, my comfort zone, my nirvana. WTF has C25K done to me? "Not running" for the last couple of weeks has been *so* frustrating - I could just feel myself being sucked back into the swamp of indolence. I was really terrified that I'd just flip back into the zone I'd been in for 99% of my life - I hate exercise, I can't run, I'm happy on this couch, when's Columbo on?
I am here to tell you, guys and gals, that with one bound I was free! I *haven't* been sucked into the quicksands of perpetual sofa-sitting; my foot is better (I think) and I just rocked the Parkrun yesterday. Not a personal best but not far off, still under 45 minutes (which I know sounds ridiculously slow to most of you but represents p-r-e-t-t-y d-a-m-n s-p-e-e-d-y to Supersnail here.) Take that, injury couch!
So the sun is shining in Llandudno and I am smiling the day away.
See you again soon my dearios,
Nia
