Injury free and ready to rock and roll!

Hellooooooo! No running news to report I'm afraid! Under strict instructions from the podiatrist I have rested my toe all week. Went back to see him yesterday and had my orthotics fitted - a pair for my trainers and a pair for my work boots. My left foot is the worse with correction of some 8 degrees needed! But, it would appear that this has been the cause of all my foot problems and now the proof will be in the pudding! He said to wear them in a bit with shorter runs, so am going to venture out tomorrow for 3-4 miles and see how it goes.
I never thought I would say this but I am really missing my running! On a plus side I am eating less and have lost a couple of pounds each week since the marathon - only another 30 to go!!!
Had a lovely day with the children and other half today - has been nice to have a couple of 'normal' weekends again.... that will all change again I'm sure!
Good to catch up with you all and have a great weekend x

kraftykat 'Great stuff Charlie! Glad your toe is healing up nicely and you've got the orthotics sorted. Now you're ready to go for it! Take it easy until you get the orthotics worn in a litle, your feet will need to get used to them. Well done on the diet front too - you really are putting me to shame. I just keep putting the pounds on and keep saying I'll start next week - I really MUST start on Monday!!!! Please nudge me .... Have a good weekend :)' added 9th May 2009
