2010, January: the road to Molly Malone's

[El Gordo]

Yes, commiserations and congratulations both in order - certainly a good time considering the strife you were in. It wasn't, um, your eleventh such injury I suppose

But yes, well done for getting through it and best of luck with the recuperation.

Cheers mate.

Leg is feeling better today. Yesterday I could walk up the stairs normally, but could come down only one step at a time (obviously uses different muscles). This morning, I was able to walk down the stairs nornally, even though the leg is still sore when I put weight on it. I definitely think I might have got away with this one. The more I think about it, the more I reckon the calf strap helped -- both having it on during the race, and having it there as a support since then.

Plan is to do nothing today, but perhaps try some non-impact stuff at the gym over the next couple of days. I've booked a sports massage for later in the week, and would hope to be able to try a run within a few days. I don't want to be stuck in Cornwall for too long...
