Legs have packed up.....yet again!

[danzargo]

Hey fellow runners out there in running Land,

I am frustrated to report that the Running God has not looked kindly on my legs. After last weekends outing, which was disastrous, I have had to call my trusty physio man to come and see if he can fix me up. My worry is that I've damaged summat because things don't feel right with them at all. Mrs Dan says "Stop worrying you nincompoop" but being a natural worrier, I'm unable to relax until I've found out what's wrong!

I've gone and retrieved my mini trampoline from the shed and may do some tentative jogging on that, to see if a sprung surface helps. Perhaps the roads have been too hard and have knackered my half century legs.

Wish I had more fun stories to tell.....

Sorry to hear that, Dan - hope it's not as bad as you fear. I understand that bathing in asses milk (not sure whether that would work in the jacuzzi) has given good results for some. Definitely worth having them checked out, if only for your peace of mind (the legs too).

[danzargo Graduate in reply to Landesman]

Thanks. I like the asses milk idea!

[ancientrunner Graduate]

Oh that must be very frustrating for you. Fingers crossed nothing too bad. Linda

[danzargo Graduate in reply to ancientrunner]

Aww thanks Linda.

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Keep posting, Dan, we're missing the kittens.......oh, and I hope these hassles clear up. We all feel for you.

[danzargo Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Sooooo fed up with all this I.D.T. I'll let you know what happens once legs are inspected.

[Mummysaurus Graduate]

Hope you feel better soon

[danzargo Graduate in reply to Mummysaurus]

Thank you!

[swanscot Graduate]

I feel your frustration and know what it's like to be waiting for prognosis from a physio. But as MrsDan says, don't worry. I found my physio was always much more laid back about about my non-co-operating legs then I was. I hope he can give you some exercise to get your legs working again and get you out there shortly.

[danzargo Graduate in reply to swanscot]

Thank you swanscot. Let's hope he can fix me up.

[notbad Graduate]

Hope you get sorted soon, these injuries and tough patches are part of it for many of us - take it easy and keep faith that you'll be back.

[danzargo Graduate in reply to notbad]

Am keeping the faith.....just!

[OldNed Graduate]

Think your legs need a shock. Get into that bathroom and shave them. Well, it seems to work for Wiggo !

[danzargo Graduate in reply to OldNed]

Is this in addition to my back, sack and crack wax?

[OldNed Graduate in reply to danzargo]

What you do with hot wax in your nether regions is.....none of my business!!

[waletta Graduate]

Really sorry. Don't give up hope.

[danzargo Graduate in reply to waletta]

Thanks waletta

[ju-ju- Graduate]

Relax.... Small steps....work it right up... And definitely take on Landesman's advice... Oh and get a mantra... Running is mostly in the mind remember?!

[danzargo Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]

My mantra is "sip the wine don't glug" over and over again.

PS. Gorgeous pic. Very grrrrrrrrrr!!

[ju-ju- Graduate in reply to danzargo]

Great mantra and Thanks Dan!!!... I hope it's eased off a bit now???

[danzargo Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]

It's worse! Can't believe it. At this rate I'll be getting crutches for Christmas!!!

[OldNed Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]

Another new photo? can't keep up with this!
