This week I've stepped the running up to 2 miles. No reaction from my foot but my lungs were complaining about the fast pace! It's only as a result of not having been running and losing my running fitness but give me a month and I should be fine.
On Friday I played golf. Now I know to a lot of triathletes they hardly regard this as a sport, but it does present a challenge to my foot. My new orthotics did the job and I'm pleased to report no adverse reaction. This is important as I am taking part in my clubs annual Pro Am on Tuesday!
The sun was shining on Saturday morning so I headed out with the fast group knowing that at some point we'd form a smaller, slower break away group which we did. The pace was good and we tackled a hilly route and was pleased to see we completed 43 miles. I'm enjoying getting back on the bike and looking forward to a summer of cycling. That night I could feel my right calf getting tight so I need to keep and eye on it as it was also tight this morning. Some yoga required.
Today the weather forecast looked windy with rain showers so I decided to take a risk and run round Chatelherault. The risk was one loop is almost 5 miles so that was a big increase. In addition the ground is uneven and there is a set of steps which I'd need to be careful on. But I wanted to see the bluebells - my favourite flower. I have missed them for the last 3 seasons due to being injured or recovering from an event, Mds, the Highland Fling. I'm pleased I went. It was so good to be running on trails, through the trees and the beautiful sight of the bluebells. This beats tarmac roads any day.
I'm now resting up watching the football on the telly and I'll be doing yoga later. The calf is tight but so far the foot is behaving. It feels good to be getting back into shape.
