Words cannot express the pain one gets from a sports massage!  I almost passed out!  I could see colours, feel a stabbing sensation followed by excruciating pain and then.. relief as I relaxed my foot and then we were off again.  This vicious cycle was indeed a necessary evil and one which I will subject myself to gladly if it means I can run comfortably.  But what an ordeal. 

I have given myself a couple of days to recover from the weekend debacle and waited patiently (well not really) until this morning.  Yes I was booked in for an early appointment to find out what might be causing my foot problem.  Turns out the pain in my arch is due to medial tibial inflammation - akin to shin splints but a bit further round.  Nightmare.  Its treatable as I endured a massage to get mobility back and repair the muscle damage.  I have in on good authority that I can run on it tomorrow so we'll just have to wait and see.  But seriously in the words of Janice from Friends "Oh MY GOD!"

So runnign stats meaningless this week Actual miles = a big fat 0!  But tomorrow may improve.  My target is going to change a little as I've got a couple of week slippage on the Londoners (May 10th for me)  Yikes

Hope you are having a better week than I am!
