It had to happen...

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Well after 12 days of pain and frustration, I finally got fed up waiting for the final, remaining, last little bit of metatarsal pain to subside and just went for it ... a short 2.5 km test run to see what happens.

No treatment - ice, rest, massage, compression, goanna entrails or chicken sacrifices to the moon God Raki really made any noticeable difference at all. Perhaps I should have thawed the chook first maybe?

Anyway the break must have done me good because the above-mentioned, just-completed trial run was a-bloody-mazing. I mean, it felt soooooo good. And it was fast too! And now my foot feels great - even better than when I left. Or perhaps that's due to the post-run half bottle of cheap Albanian vodka?

Officially back in training.. woo hoo! Never thought I'd miss it so much!
