Week 9... not to be denied

Well guys it's week 9 and run one is in the bag that was Friday, however Saturday night for some unexplainable reason I've got hit big time with gout arthritis in the right foot.

I have to say it hurts like h3ll.

Spent the whole evening with ice packs, buprofen and anything else I could find to try and ease the pain it's right across the top of the right foot and it's swollen and red with inflammation.

Monday p.m. is my week 9 second run and I am going to do it even if it's on one leg. 🤤

I can't believe it, its completely out of the blue heaven knows why I have a uric acid retention problem.

So I will hammer the vitamin C, magnesium and potassium supplements and see how it goes.

I haven't come this far to be thwarted by bit of arthritis.

Hopefully it will all be sorted out by the 8th for when I go for my cardiac running stress test.

Anyone else had problems like this and quick ways out of it..
