71 days to go – Please heal heel!
14 Aug
12 days since I did any serious running and this bloody, stupid heel is still not 100%. All the time I’m sitting here with an ice pack on it, Mike is racking up the miles and getting fitter and fitter every day. I’m desperately trying to stay positive but ask any athlete how they feel when they are injured and I’m sure you would get the same response – bloody frustrated!
Still, on the bright side I’ve been catching up with work and doing quite a bit of research on GPS running systems. I mentioned to Mike a few days back that it would be useful if I could monitor my ‘progress’ leading up to the big day. With that in mind I’ve decided to take the plunge and ordered a Garmin 305 which is an amazing little gadget which seems to do everything but make a cup of tea!
Will report on it once it’s turned up and I’ve installed all the software and various plug-ins that you can download. I’ll probably get Mike to call round and oversee the installation as he has it set up nicely on his PC, I’m sure he wont mind.
Oh well, best get the ice pack back in the freezer!
