Back to the physio!!

Nothing exciting to report I'm afraid. The lingering and frustrating hamstring injury needs more rest/stretching/ice/physio or whatever to get itself right. So I'm off to see Dave Carter again (link on right) on Friday.

I went out last Tuesday evening (20th) to help out with a local running group called the Greenfield Greyhounds (info below) and although i only did the first run; around 5 miles in total (including the run to Greenfield from Uppermill and back) it was enough to know about it the next couple of days.

Being sensible, i decided to take a week off and achieve full recovery. I then went out this Tuesday morning (27th) and after 1 mile turned around and came home! There's only minor discomfort but quite a lot of tension and after a full week off with lots of stretching and ice i figure it needs looking at. As a result no running since. With 3 months to go till the big day and the need to really get the mileage up I'm hoping Dave can work his magic, fingers crossed.

Here's the info for the Greenfield Greyhounds:

http://www.facebook.com/groups/greenfieldgreyhounds/ which is organised by Colin Green with help from a couple of experienced runners. Colin's a local Physio http://www.physio-matters.org/ and encourages all abilities of runner (beginners very welcome!) to get out as a group on a weekly basis and improve their running. The GG meet at 6.00pm (beginners, approx 3 miles) and 7.00pm (more advanced, longer run) on Tuesday's at Tesco in Greenfield. It's £1 each and the money goes to charity.

and remember

Cheers
Mick
