Feeling Positive - Week 4 awaits....

[Sofargoner]

This is a personal musing rather than a technical 'how my run went' post.

A few of you who follow me know I had a lot of pain on Tuesday night and all Wednesday due to inflammation in my SI joint - its now Thursday night and all the pain has totally gone. If I can flip over in bed with no pain tonight then I am going to go for Week 4 run 1 tomorrow.

I remain feeling positive, I don't want to get into the mindset that I am going to have this pain every few weeks. On my last post I got great advice and a member suggested getting my running shoes looked at and I have made an appointment for gait analysis even though I am petrified of being the biggest person in the shop (I can see all those ultra-runners in my mind's eye) but what have I got to lose? Nothing. What have I got to gain? Everything.

This forum is AMAZING. Thank you everyone.

Fantastic news! And gait analysis is a REALLY good idea. How many personal fears have you faced and overcome already. Awesome attitude

I hope the shoe experience goes well for you. I approached my running shop feeling very nervous for my gait analysis but the man who served me couldnt have neen nicer and I felt he treated me like a real runner even though I told him how I was part through c25k.☺
