On a positive note (yes I know I have been a miserable cow recently!) yesterday I got an e-mail that made me smile!
It was from "Sport in Action" the company who organised the Carlisle Resolution 10K run that I had to cancel due to my injury (have I mentioned I'm injured?!). I had sent them an email prior to the run to cancel my place in an attempt not to get a DNS next to my name in the results table! I failed but hey ho the reply I got back restored my faith in human kindness! They have emailed back offering their best wishes and telling me what a good day i had missed (charming!) and offering me a free place on the Longtown 10 mile race in April!!! I hadn't expected anything from them, I was just trying to avoid getting a DNS! Thank you Sport in Action you have given me something to look forward to!! Fingers crossed I am fit to run!
In the many hours I have had lying incapacitated on the sofa I have been thinking about what caused my injury in order for me to avoid it in the future! The only thing I can think of is I was wearing my new trail trainers for their second outing. I wasn't off road but because there was a little bit of snow and ice around I thought they would be good for the extra grip and stability. Has this somehow caused my injury? Seems too much like a coincidence to me!
Back to the Doctors tomorrow! Fingers crossed it is good news! I have been trying to do the exercises given to me by the hospital but the ankle doesn't seem too willing at the moment!!
Well I suppose I will go back to looking at Marathon training plans for York in October and praying that I will one day be fit to run!
