A Slight Problem

A small hiccup in the journey. Yesterday I stepped off the kerb and sprained my ankle and am now on crutches. This means that I wont be able to run for a couple of weeks at least.

I have signed up to do the following runs:
-7 March IWD 5km - WONT BE DOING THIS!
-21 March Twilight Run 10km - possibly but fitness will be an issue
-28 March Rotary Fun Run 11km - again, maybe but this is a tough run with lots of hills so we'll see
-TBA Tunnel Run 10km- not sure when this is, it depends on the opening of the Clem tunnel, but if its in early March I dont think I will be doing it.

Now I have at least 2 weeks of no running. Starting physio on Tues. Doctor wants me to have a cat scan if its not getting better by mid week as he thinks I may have a hairline fracture. Hopefully he is wrong so I can get back to training.

Some statistics

- I am not a runner
- I am not athletic, never have been
- I didnt start running until I turned 50
- with a BMI of 34.1 I am obese
- I have put on 9kg since August last year

Yesterday I walked for a hour and today I ran my 3km loop again, starting to feel a bit better now, muscle memory is kicking in

Too Hot, Too Hard

Yesterday I ran 3 km for the first time in months and today I did it again. I actually managed to run all the way this time, but its still so hot at night that it makes it very hard.

165

that's how many days until I run my first marathon.
