Physio Graduation

The last couple of weeks have seen me continue to mix up my training with swim, bike, run and wts and the body is holding up well. At the end of last Thursday's runclub where I did all bar a 200m, Tim commented that it was the first solid session I'd done in 18 months. That was nice to hear.

I caught up with my thyroid specialist last week and despite being the slimmest I've been for 20+ years, he told me I wasn't losing weight fast enough, my hands are cold, my pulse is too slow, my reflexes are far too slow and to up my meds by 50%! I protested the slow pulse was fitness but he gave me that 'dream on' look and said they were all symptoms of the thyroid not being up to scratch. Apparently I should be jumping out of my skin this week but I still managed a 2hr nana nap today.

The excellent news is I saw Dr Pain about my Achilles yesterday. Last time he felt it had gone backwards but after telling him I had had no problem in or after the 10k race a couple of weeks ago he checked it and said "much better." He reckons I need to keep doing some skipping and plyometric style exercises for at least 3 months before we can say the tendon won't snap but I don't need to see him. He joked that all he needs to do now is get Gnome better but then probably his other CR couple will get injured :-)
