It would seem silly to stop the journey to the Half Marathon the week before the week it happened on so I thought I would just round it off here. I guess I will then post any updates on my injury when something significant happens again. For those who aren\u2019t familiar with the journey you can start here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The week started with The Sensory Seeker<\/a>\u2019s annual review. After I had been to it (he\u2019s doing super well by the way) I walked into town to buy a meal deal from Tesco for lunch. This was so that I could join my husband at work for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When his break was over there wasn\u2019t really any point in driving home as it would be time to come back again. As it was my sister\u2019s birthday I went to Costa and had some cake. She cut me off when I had to make a difficult family decision that I don\u2019t believe I am legally allowed to talk about! All in all this meant that I had done a fair bit of walking (around 4 miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercises from Physio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the next 5 days in a row I managed the exercises that the physio had set. I was in agony but told myself I needed to do them. Either to help get better or prove that there was something more that needed looking at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sports Massage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the Thursday I went to see the lady who does my sports massages. When she asked why I had come I told her it was mainly like a treat. Little did I know how much I needed it. A sports massage hadn\u2019t been that painful for a while. She said I was a lot worse and to Google Back Mice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Exercises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The physio also said that I needed to do exercises regularly too. So Tuesday I managed a 2 mile run, Wednesday and Thursday I walked but Friday I hurt too much. Saturday I was okay to do Parkrun<\/a> but I began to feel really sick. The pain was unbearable. In fact the last marshal even asked me if I was okay, and I told them no but I was almost there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
