Hey TheEd,
Tues: Cycled to work AM Osteopath session PM. Went well, he ID'd exact problem, gave me one new stretch to do and a tennis ball trick for laying on and for attempting to iron out the niggle in my right piriformis (glutus medius). Two weeks till next check-up. Hope to see it off once and for all. Its not causing any other probs and he said I should keep exercising as long its doesn't cause any discomfort.
Wed:Rest
Thurs: 4.5m, 39 mins, Easy/med Woods run. Out with work collegues, took it easy, felt good at end. Short core session in gym.
Fri: Prob rest, might do a short run 3 or 4 miles.
Forgot to mention earlier in week I got roped into doing a 5 hour, Open Adventure Race this Sunday in Cumbria - North West England, mountainous region. Its a bike/run 'collect points' affair, will be tagging along with a seasoned pro and his 15 year old son who doesn't run too well, should be a reasonably lax affair. Thought it might be good to really kick start the stamina pool for this year with this and by taking it easy throughout the whole race.
Sat: Rest
Sun: Journeying at 6am for a 9am start. Will report back post-race, lets hope I make it back alive!
Hope the weather has been kinder to you folk over there,
Catchup soon,
D
