Whittlin alert .......

[Vintage61]

Plantar flippinitis has got worse. Was better and so ... yes you’ve guessed it I had a cheeky run. Bad Jan.

So head says rest and heart says NOOOO MUST RUN!!! Playing long game so being good, going to do my first marshalling at Parkrun on Saturday.

Stretching, icing, rolling and wearing inner soles etc. Doing as I’m told but so miss my runs.

Whittlin over, but I’m still a runner aren’t I????? 😢😢😢

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Go to the naughty step😂😂 hope you are better soon and get back to running. Enjoy the parkrun on Saturday even though you're not running. Good luck 😊

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you 😊

[CAFC62 Graduate]

Tut tut ... listen to you body Jan. You are still a runner and can add marshal to your job description after Saturday 😉

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to CAFC62]

I am a runner! Yay 👍🏻🤣

I have many sock! Thank you for this. I’m going to a local sports injury clinic to get a grip of what to do for the best

Hi, honestly I feel your pain. I tried hill running at the end of May and that lead to PF in one foot. Awful and excruciating at times. I could control it with ice, rolling, stretches etc but I have to say the real improvement started after I finally went too see a podiatrist. I wish I’d gone earlier. So that might be an option? I was naughty too and tried to carry on running, I figured it hurt if I ran and it hurt if I didn’t but I’m not sure that was wise!

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to RunningChocoholic]

Yep. I’m booking into to a local sports injury clinic that I’ve been to before for my back. I’m in such a middle of ice, rollers, socks, insoles and stretches I’m totally confusing myself so need to get a plan. I just must be able to run, this is non negotiable!!! Thank you for your response x

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate]

We all end up on the IC at some point, learning how to deal with it is, um, character-building? Good on you for volunteering, just remember not to go following the runners!

🏃🏻‍♀️💨💨💨💨

[Tulipcat Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

I too often fart as I run!!! It’s old age...

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Tulipcat]

That was me rushing at speed!! 🤪

[backintime Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

I must admit I thought you were farting too

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to backintime]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Jazzyrunner Graduate]

Aaaarrrgghhh why don’t our bodies realise we’re helping them? If only they’d cooperate, for their own good! I don’t know about you, but I’ve found the mental discipline to hold off running to recover WAY more difficult than the physical training 🙄😂

Good luck with the sports injury clinic, and enjoy marshalling!

[Vintage61 Graduate]

Thank you. I think once I have some direction I’ll feel better 😊

[Tulipcat Graduate]

....but, you could go into the deep end of the swimming pool and ‘run’ in the water. That’s I got through my Achilles niggles. And I felt I was still running!

[backintime Graduate in reply to Tulipcat]

great idea!

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

Naughty girl! 😂 Have fun volunteering. It’s as good as running, in my humble opinion.

[Vintage61 Graduate]

I’m excited to give it a go

[backintime Graduate]

hope you get answers and your pain under control

of course you are a runner!!
