EEKK I must be mad! by hpsauce2301

Well physio on the MR ITB band is going very well and last night I ran like Owas running on air! Such a lovely feeling. It could be due to the very embarrassing giggling session had with my physio. As he was streching me out in a very painful, twisty, self knotting postion Icouldnt help but giggle! It was so painfull any normal person would say OUCH but no I had to be a giggler! and the worst part was the next client had turned up early so heard my giggling fit and then asked as I come out of the room if Jim could do what he was doing to me on him as he wants to giggle like that! Yep i was a red as a tomato and couldt put my motorbike gear on fast enough to get out of there! I have a sport massage booked in for next week and who knows what I'm going to be like then!!!!!

Cant believe how close it is now! Not sure if i want to cry or be happy! Im nervous but excited at the same time!

Hopefully this ash problem will have cleared by then so no-one misses thier flight to take part! Good luck peeps!!!!

Well after what felt like the longest wait in history my date with Jim can fix it physio man arrived. After some prodding and wobbling it was soon clear that my lovely MR ITB band was the issue for my knee problems. So up I jumped onto the massage bed for some much needed pummling. Boy did it hurt. The good news is I have caught it just before my ligaments were damaged but I now have to cut out any longer runs untill the marathon! FREAKING OUT!!!! I'm so nervous and the fact that its only 2 weeks away now is just tooooooooo scary to think about! I am quite relived though to find that the calf roller i bought back in the summer apparently works wonders on the ITB band and is just as good as a sports massage! So I have lovely date with the orange beauty this evening!

I have finally booked my tickets to Aussie land to see my sister! I fly out on the 27th so 2 days after the big M (what was i thinking!) and I feel like a kid on Christmas eve! Ah its going to be a mad couple of weeks in Perth as we are like a tornado when we get together! Although the marathon has stopped my tradition of packing a  month in advance. I think im hoping that if i dont pack the marathon wont be so close! Oh how stupid can you be!

I'm so angry right now, its all my fault that I'm angry to be honst so its inward anger! Well we all know that my knee went gamy after last weekends long run. After resting, icing, elevating etc by friday it felt fine and dandy, back to its usual self. So off I trotted with my running buddie on a 20 miler. Well come mile 5 the knee decided it was going to let me know it was there and by mile 7 it officially reared its very ugly head and ping......OUCH........limp limp....... @*&%***!!!!!!@$................ I managed to hobble home for the last few miles as my house was thankfully mile 10, got home knee throbbing, sat in a very cold ice bath and cried like the big baby I am. All that was going though my head was urgh your not going to be fit enough to do the marathon! You cant even run 10 miles at the moment!  20mins of wallowing in self pitty I got out of the bath warmed up and took my anger out on a bowl of corn flakes and melted chocolate! I began to mix the easter treats I was making and realised I was being the biggest baby around and that yes there is a possibility that I might not be able to run the marathon but then again there are people out there who can help. Whilst all this thinking was going around and around in my head I had subconsciously began to eat the lovely cornflakes and choc mix getting caught in the act by my husband as I had chocolate smeared all down my chin like a naughty 5yr old! WHOOP! It was so worth it though! I have just had a call from the physio that my club recomended, I'm all booked in for Thursday and fingers crossed he has healing hands!

My word I am a total emotional wreck at the moment. I just found myself blubbering at someone's blog, there was nothing emotional about it but i couldn't help it! I have never been one to cry, I really don't like it but at the moment i am finding it really hard to keep on a steady level minded ground! What's up with that! I'm putting it down to all this running and being extremely exhausted. On the recommendation from all you peeps and my running club buddies i have rested my knee and cannot feel any twinges at all. I have a 20 milers planned for good Friday! This will be my last long run before the marathon so lets hope I get back to my usual chirpy self! Ah easter weekend I can finally catch up on some much needed sleep, i might even banish my husband to the sofa as he wakes me up at stupid o'clock! hhhhhhuummmm sounds like a great plan!
