...... well i am surviving

No running at all is not much fun i have to say..
i find it interesting that diff docs all recommend diff things

For example another lady at my club has hte same stressie as me(and i suspect hers was a tad worse) yet she is allowed to water run (I am not, and both docs havent let met me either) but we are both alowed on the bike.
Karen also let me use the elliptical but this doc has not, nor am I supposedly walking apart from incidental walking.....
Now given Karen let me use the elliptical, I am contemplating giving it a go... and I am walking tessa for 20mins a day. I was trying to ride with her, but really it was just too dangerous...one time she saw stu and even my brakes werent stopping her! strong little staffy..
Have been swimming every second day with the pool buoy-i even did 75 mins last sunday since it was 'long run day' but out of the pool for a few days as i had a mole removed from the back of my leg(and its left a hole about the size of a 5cent piece-quite literally!

trying desperately to not put on weight but i have put on 1/2 -1kg but noting that could be my normal fluctauation..
every second dya is rep day on the bike... stu keeps making me do 6 x 3mins but ive been getting quite bored with that so today was

3min(1.5) 2.5min(1.25) 2min (1) 1.5min (.75) 1min(.5) .5min(.25) and straight into the second set- which is difficult to go straight from 15s recovery to 3 min.
I find this session VERY hard but also much more interesting.... and man the sweat drips OR RUNS...

HAHA- back to work next week. Had a good holiday albeit not quite the energetic/running holiday I was expecting

Am very lucky to have a job I like, a bf i like(and whose kids i like), friends I like, a house I like but unfortunately a body that refuses to let me have evrything I want! lol... i consider myself a supremely lucky person

deja frickin view

okay
so it may seem like i only post if something has gone wrong.
However for my own purposes its improtant cos when crap happens i like to read the last time it happened and how I dealt with it.

about 8-10 weeks ago, i had a really acute pain in the arch. went to not my normal physio(couldnt get in) who diagnosed plantatr fasciitis, so i kept running. in fact i know when i it started to be a problemy hip. went up a REALLY massive hill at the you-ies and because i couldnt put any pressure on the left side, all the pressure was on the right and that mustve tipped me over the edge because it has been sore EVER since. turns out i had torn a tendon in my arch so shouldnt have been running... anyway sore hip flexor and other ever since.
NBever suspected a stress reaaction really..
at falls over new years, only ran twice but lots of walking... knew something was up so i asked for a scan.
all done dusted and back to physio within a day. YEP stress reaction, but definitely caught it a lot earlier...am still able to walk..
trying to work out whether to use my crutches or not.
I think i will use one up until i see hte sports doc... cant see my normal dic as I cant get in til february...ummm thats a little far away really///

anyway will update when i can!
