Well it has been four days now since my last run and still in quite a bit of pain. I had physio on Saturday and I have torn a muscle. Because of where in the muscle it is it will take a little while to heal- so i've been told with very strict instructions that i'm not allowed to do any running for a couple of weeks. I was like a couple of weeks. That is soooooooooooo long. However I don't want to go back to early and tear it again and even worse. I am going to the gym tonight to do an upper body workout. I will be able to slowly start walking but I can't even do that at the moment because I am limping. I am just so upset coz my times were good, i have been running longer distances and my weight has been dropping. To make it worse dad went running yesterday and ran 15km in 73 minutes. I was so annoyed but happy for him. My physio said I will be fine to run my half marathon in sept- it is 12 weeks away so I suppose I do have some time up my sleeve thank goodness.
Sorry for my depressing blog- I know time heals. One good thing is I haven't been as hungry!!
heheheh
Have a fab week

Amy I'm sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. Its frustrating when you're told that you cant train, but take the time to rest and you'll be back into it in no time.
Just think how motivated you will be in a few weeks!

Amy, you poor thing!! A few weeks doesn't seem that long to most, but to a runner its FOREVER. We know how quickly times can plumment, and how hard it is to get back to where you were. The worse things with lower half injuries is that you just can't ignore it and run anyway, coz you JUST CANT!! Even worse when your weight is dropping.
Head up chicken, be positive, you are definitely in my thoughts :)
