All systems go and countdown recommences

It looks like my body is better at repairing itself than I gave it credit for (either that, or there was nothing wrong and I'm just getting jumpy as the SMH half approaches). The thigh pain was less on Monday, but I still rang the physio for the earliest possible appointment - amazingly, today at 8:30am was free (this never happens :-)

Anyhow, by this morning, the soreness had mostly worked itself out and although the sadist found a few pain points to press, it was all pretty right and I can return to running immediately :-) :-)

Apparently, although I have always paid a lot of attention to good posture and core stability when I am running, he said that my core was just not strong enough, and hence I was over stressing all the various stabiliser muscles. He's prescribed at least half an hour of core strengthening twice a week for a while, dropping back to a maintenance level after that. TA's loving response was "Well der... You've never done enough abs work!" :-)

Anyhow, it's up early tomorrow for a 5k see-how-she-goes run, which means that trying to get the photo on the blog profile will have to wait for another day.

Tiger angel is working full time this week (over 60 hours when the boss goes on holidays), so I doubt that you'll see any musings from her for a while. What I can tell you is that her trainer included a swim session in this week's programme for the first time in what seems like months, and she could hardly get out of bed this morning. Maybe I should say "Well der... You haven't been doing enough swimming!" Then again, could choose to shutup and live... :-)
