Quick Up-date

Following the London Ultra last weekend I have some good news to report, my musicals actually did not hurt that much, it took me about 2 days to feel normal again and I managed some time on the cross trainer by Tuesday.
The existing injuries and the bad choice of trainers, for what turned out to a race run on about 70% hard, did cause me joints problems and my ankle to flair, some acupuncture at the weekend seems to have helped my ankle and a bit of physio booked this coming Saturday I am hopping will sort out the knees ready for a long runs on Sunday. I am competing in a Cross Country Relay on Saturday and somehow ended up in the first team, I think somewhere in the translation MDS entry got mixed up with I am running well. I will give it a go and see what happens.

I have ordered nearly all my kit, following the approval of a mortgage, only a few small bits like safety pins, sunglasses and goggles, o yes, I will be wearing goggles if there is a sand storm I will look like the bees knees. If anyone knows where I can get a small light pair similar to the type which came with a chemistry set as a child please let me know!  I have gone for light over comfort so I am hoping when I pack the bag next weekend it comes in at around 7.5kg, otherwise I am going to be uncomfortable and carrying a heavy backpack.  

It’s not a particularly inspiring post this week I am afraid, mainly due to the tonsillitis, I will keep throwing down the Antibiotics. I am staying possative, the challange was massive before, it is now a whole lot bigger, but I will finish, and finish well. I will inject a bit of inspiration into the proceedings with an YouTube clip about Springboard.

Take care
