I did the Rest, but I have to admit the ICE went in the G&T
I've had a compression sock on all day and I can almost walk without a limp now. Hopeful that with compression and pain killers I should be able to run Sunday. It is trail, and the ground is nice and soft.
Oh yeah, night shift brain, R is for Rest
Sounds like you’ve got it sorted, good luck for the race!
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.
Off to the gym in a bit and will see what I can do, not done the leg press for a couple of months but was doing 4x20 at 80kg... Wonder if i can still manage that, the trainer i use on occasion is obsessed with the stair master and has given me a 1000 step target for every time i go in so the leg press should be okay.
10 mile trail race this morning, loads of mud and 3 river crossings. Took it easy because of the foot, but worked out well as I was able to support another runner from the club who is coming back from injury.
The foot hurts a little again now, but has gone a lovely color.

Well today my doctor congratulated me on dropping 5kg and the lowest blood sugar levels i have ever recorded, then said she was putting me on more tablets because my cholesterol is up to 5.1... Any more tablets and i will rattle.
Back to the gym tomorrow to see what the trainer thinks, and another lunch time session.
Back and shoulders at the gym. It was busy but I could get on what I needed to. This gym clearly has its regulars but everyone seems friendly, no posers.
I really do have to get rid of this Christmas belly though. I'm a fat knacker
D4, I'm itching to get back in the gym. It's been 5 weeks at least now
I feel worse after a blood test than I do from giving blood. I love the array of sugary snacks they have on offer though - if I wasn't on a healthy eating plan I'd have been tucking right in!
