After Mondays training session, I noticed that I had a pain on the bony part on the back of my heel. It was only really bad after sittng for a while or especially the next morning. Now, I have been working as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner for the last 5 years and have quite a bit insight into minor injuries. I think I have got inflammation around the insertion point of my achilles tendon. Funnily enough, the actual tendon is not painful and it is mainly painful to the side of my heel when I walk. However, I am painfree after walking for a few minutes. This is classic for a soft tissue injury. It's funny because if I was working and giving advice to patients, I would advise that they rest it and take anti inflammatories until they are painfree. Yes.....I haven't followed my own advice. There's something a#bout this running lark. I've got the buzz! I do not want to stop running as it has taken me this long to get this far and also I'm loving it.
Tonight, I was kiddy free so went out for a 3 mile run ( OK 2.9 miles to be exact ) along the seafront with my running companion, Misty the dog. I had run 1.5 miles when we cam across my brother, his kids and dog. Misty loves playing with their dog and obviously recognised them and that was it...she was gone. Normally she follows me regardless of dogs but this time Oh no. I turned around to get her but she followed my brother so I left her with him until I could see her again a bit further on. See below Misty after a 3 mile run! I think it's about time I had a goal...a 5K run would be good!
