Hope lost:
A quote from my last post, "...and this morning I am suffering no noticeable achilles issues which is fantastic news."
Well, about an hour after writing that, I got up out of a chair and it felt like I had been stung inside my left achilles. An isolated acid burning feeling which caused much swearing and cursing, not due to pain but sheer frustration and anger coming down from such elation to hope drifting away again. I spent the next 24hrs walking very tentatively with varied levels of low level pain in one or both tendons.
Hope returns:
By the next morning things were massively improved and for the last 3 days now, I have attended to them well, iced water, heat rubs, ibruprophen gel, stretches and support bandages in various orders and they now feel pretty well where they were only a couple of weeks ago so hopefully not much damage was done. I guess many people at the event who have not had previous problems will have had sore achilles over the last few days.
Registered:
So, to big news. Yesterday I registered for the Great Manchester Run 10k on May26th 2013, 15 days after my 60th birthday so the target remains. Thanks to my daughter Gillian for reminding me that entry was open and for assuring me that I should register.
