I'm keeping the motivation going but sadly the old foot is not going as well as could be expected.  I had taken a week off (admittedly it was well timed as I was on a hen weekend this weekend so I was spared doing a long run in lovely Belfast)  I took this as a sign to relax and recover and let me foot rest - ok so the night of clubbing didnt help but I am a bridesmaid so it's part of the job description.  Anyway thinking I would be fully recovered on the Monday I went out for my run - not good.  Foot still sore after a couple of miles.  So tactics followed

Plan B - speak to physio man

Plan C- change shoes

Plan D - panic!

We are into Plan C at the moment and I am reporting an improvement.  Target and milage totally out of the window I have managed 10 miles so far since Monday - thanks Alisa for the run home and keeping my spirits lifted!  Lets hope the long run on Sunday goes well...
