Damn and Blast!
Blast!! I decided to do a short, slow run last night, and had quite a bit of discomfort from my heel. I ended up doing an extremely slow 4 1/2 miles.
Oddly enough, it feels absolutely fine today... not a trace of any discomfort however I move it!
Could it be the new shoes?? I'm not really sure what to do now; whether to run again in the old shoes and see how it feels, or just persevere with the new ones.
It's bloody typical; I feel that I am right at the start of my MdS training and I have a bloody injury!
On a bit of a lighter (literally!) note, I kept a diary of treks I've done in the past- Peru in 2003 and the Tour de Mont Blanc in 2004. I intend to create a web site about these when I get the chance! Anyway, I kept a diary, which I haverecently been rereading. It's quite funny! When I did these treks, I weighed around 12 1/2 stones, and the diary entries were filled with panic about not losing weight and not doing more exercise.... I used to worry like mad before I went!
I am off to Morocco in a few weeks, trekking in the Atlas Mountains with Explore Worldwide, and I'm not worried! Cos I'm now 9 stone 10lbs and a heck of a lot fitter!
