The 2009 Diary by Chect

Oh dear this is not a good week.  I've been training ok and reporting in these blogs a week in arrears but things happen so fast I think I'd better get you all right up to date.  So my week before was good in fact better than good.  Still averaging only 3 times a week but still got:

Target miles = 45 Actual miles = 30 

This was including the high of my longest run of 18 miles which involved stopping for a freebie Mint Aero to carry on my run (bonus!) and running with my crazy new running club around London following a trail set by one of the group.  Like I say great running and ways to see the city so all was going according to plan until the weekend. ..

Allow me to explain - last week was manic at work and I only ran once during the week. Not being too concerned I went to work on Friday for a big meeting in heels (Mistake no 1) bear with me the detail is necessary).  Not one normally such glamourous footwear I then went to a dance class in the evening and well to cut a long story short my poor feet were complaining big time!  Already tender, I guess when I did my long one this weekend in my not so regular running trainers (mistake no2) I came a cropper.  Pain underneath my foot in the arch.  Not good I tried to run on but I the pain worsened so decided to walk the last mile home - I've never done that before.  ARGH!

So not good - I'm trying to be realistic and positive and well keep my feet up for a while anyway.  I'm booked in to my sports injury guy and I am keeping everything crossed.  It may be that in my normal shoes I'm ok I just need to see how I fare this week.  But honestly I could scream!

Hope you are faring better than me this week!   It really is a rollercoaster ride this! 

Target miles = 33 actual miles = 20
