I've got the heel inserts - I'm going out tomorrow!

[mo-mentum]

I really had to try hard when I got back from the running shop today with my new heel inserts.

The sun was shining and the tenderness in the muscles around my achillies was at about 20% of what it was on Sunday. So I was tempted. It's been FOUR WHOLE DAYS NOW without a run. Then the sensible voice in my head (do you get these or is it just me since I've joined this community?) said - "No Mo! Wait for another 24 hours, you promised yourself you wouldn't run until the weekend!!!"

So tonight I'm going to load some of the right kind of music in to a running play list and see if i can download the route I've planned in Garmin Connect to my new toy.

Then tomorrow I'll be out there for a short 20 minute (sensible voice made me agree to this first time out!) shuffle.

Watch out world - here I come again

Excited Mo.

Hi, i often have voices in my head! Think the running has made them worse though (ha!) Well done for listening to yours and good luck for tomorrow!

[mo-mentum Graduate]

Cheers Leyther1, it's nice to know I'm not alone with the voices!

Sometimes, it's only the voices that get me through!

Phew - so it isn't just me then!

Oh my, new heel inserts, new Garmin and fresh shins...look out world, MO IS BACK!!

By any chance, are the voices in your head always the sweetest sounding voluptous, scantily-clad ladies offering the most wonderful encouragement...or are those just in my head??? (Maybe, we shouldn't tell my wife about those voices!!)

Good luck on your run tomorrow!! Nice and easy...ease that Achilles back in gently!!!

Keep Running!!

Steve

Hi Steve

Yes Mo will be back! It's cold out there and I've even had to dig out the gloves that let me activate the i-pod without taking them off.

Strangly enough I don't think my voices are quite the same as yours - they range from scary sergent major types (from my old cadet days) to gentle voices of encouragement that I associate with the wonderful character from this site. But if the ones you hear work for you, that's good and no-one else knows OK?

Thanks again for the encouragement - it's so great to know my coaching team are behind me!

Cheers Mo x
