No jogging for me :-(

[caz1_ca]

I have the stiffest and most painfully sore neck I have ever had in my life. I barely got any sleep last night. So there is no way I can go jogging today, I think I'd pass out after about 5 minutes if I even made it that long. I tried heat, Ive tried cold, I've tried Ibuprofen and paracetamol (not together) and I'm now onto Voltarol gel. I can barely move my head in any direction. Was suppose to be my last run of week 8. I'm so disappointed and feeling very sorry for myself.

That's must be terribly disappointing for you and painful, hopefully you'll be back to full fitness very soon and you can complete W8. Have you got a wheat cushion that you can put in the microwave, they work wonders for me with shoulder/neck problems, as you can really bend them around the area.

Thanks. Yes I keep trying the wheat bag but so far nothing is shifting it.

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. It must be so disappointing. Hope to hear you're better soon

I know how you feel - I unbolted the back door last week and in reaching up triggered something in my neck. I couldn't move my head at all. I went to my chiropractor who put it right but it's still uncomfortable and I don't think the underlying problem has gone away. It's miserable, isn't it? I hope you feel better soon.

If it's no better in the morning I'll be going to the doctors because over the counter painkillers aren't taking the pain away. I will probably have to repeat week 8 if I don;t get back out there soon.

Hope your neck is feeling better too.

Get well soon!! Keep the faith. You know you can do it. No point risking your health though so get this sorted first. I've not run for 4 days with working late and it being to hot to go on a morning now Going out tonight for W8R1 but worried about having the break and then it's the step up to 28 mins (eek)!! Ah well, it's a marathon not a sprint as they say and so long as we get there eventually.

Good luck with your run tonight. And you are right it's not a sprint. I feel really rather pleased that I have come as far as I have because before I started the programme I really did have doubts. It has and is taking me longer than the 9 weeks but things get in the way. I am really looking forward to getting back out there though.

Thanks. Good that you are still determined. I was really sceptical at the start but starting to believe now
