This post is about what should have been week 12 of Jeffing Sub 2 hours Half Marathon Training<\/a>. By now I had totally given up the plan due to an injury that just wasn\u2019t going away. Knowing myself though there was still the possibility that I would run the upcoming Half Marathon, so I have carried on documenting what I was doing in the run up. Following on from week 11<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing a Professional About it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monday I walked five miles to sort out back to school shoe shopping. Later I went to the doctors and saw someone. He wasn\u2019t a doctor and think he was a physio. Either way he got me to describe things, do some exercises standing up and lying down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He said that it was Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome and tried to explain it by drawing a diagram. This is also referred to as a bursitis. I was sent a self-referral link for more physio but there’s a long waiting list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment for my Hip Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That it needed treating with a slow build-up of exercise. That too little or too much would just make it worse. Therefore, he suggested that I just run 1km and if I was okay after that I could add more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That the pain did not necessarily have to be during the exercise but afterwards too. If I was in any pain after I had done too much, and pushed things too far. This would only aggravate things further. Plus I was given exercises for gluteal loading, which he demonstrated and e-mailed to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk for dinner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That evening I went out for dinner with hubby. We walked from the car to the restaurant and back. Thing is, I was wearing chunky high heels and I don\u2019t think it was the best idea. I was in agony before we even got back to the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alton Towers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Tuesday of this week was A-level results day (yes sorry I am way behind on my write-ups). We had promised the older teen a day out at Alton Towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This of course meant lots more walking and rollercoasters. Naturally the \u201cBig Six\u201d (well 5 as the boys think Thirteen is a bit lame) – and so I am not sure what impact that had on my body!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Gentle Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday I took things more easily, just walking to the younger teen\u2019s swimming lesson and back. Finally I have moved to working from a desk though, instead of hunched over a screen on my bed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday More Walking<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Thursday also saw some gentle walking as I took the children to the park with a friend and her children. It was honestly less than a mile each way. Then I walked again less than a mile to take a friend some boxes as she was moving house. I came home and fell asleep – then woke up in absolute agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Start Exercise!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My problem with the suggested exercise advice really became apparent on this Friday, as even doing a few odd jobs around the kitchen caused me to be in agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nurse had told me when I was booked in to see someone at the doctors to regularly take both ibuprofen and paracetamol. I had been taking pain killers regularly for a week now and sure the pain was worse. Even with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was more back to school shopping with the youngest teen so we may have nipped into McDonalds. This would have also included walking just over 3 miles too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tail-Walking Parkrun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I thought that being the tail walker at Parkrun<\/a> would be a very sensible option. It was actually hugely rewarding and the lady has achieved Personal Bests every week since! Although it was a lot of time on my feet and then I sat on a pub bench for 5 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain was so bad that I was almost tempted to drink alcohol when my friends told me it would help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of Swimming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Swimming I feel helps, but there hadn\u2019t been any opportunities because it kept raining and that makes the rivers unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bowling<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On the Sunday we caught up with family playing ten pin bowling in the morning. The afternoon the older teen went to a friend\u2019s house. And we packed for our short break away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
