Everyone needs support

Having made my pals aware of my potential injury problem and the consequences, support flooded into my Facebook page - well at least five suggestions. They range from the sensible "listen to your physio and take the time off" to swimming, cycling and running in the pool. It's great to have a support mechanism as most athletes will end up injured at one stage or another in their training and when they do they tend not to be happy bunnies! In the meantime, today is a long day as I headed down to London on the first flight and am coming back on the last flight - a 17 hour day if the flights on time. Good practice for the long days in the Marathon des Sables and I am very conscious of how mu foot and ankle feel as I walk miles around town. But as I partake in some liquid carbs (just 1) I'm wishing that Star Trek technology was available and that Scotty could "beam me up". It's not going to happen so I'll apply some "mental" training and zone out in the queues at the airport and the nonsense you have to go through at security followed by the "herding of the cattle" onto the plane. I'll practice my yoga breath and imaging I was back in the Caribbean. Yea man...see it's working already!
