Footloose?

Yesterday I was sooo sore, I could hardly walk. Not surprising I guess! I'm almost back to normal today. Yesterday it was all I could do to go to the gym, stretch a lot and then camp in the steam room to massage my aches! I've been sore from training many a time - PT always has me groaning 24-48 hours after a solid weights session, but I think this was actually the sorest my legs have ever been from running alone. Strangely proud of that too for some reason *L* must be the runner in me finally coming out - I knew it was in there, somewhere!

Can't believe how obscene the caffiene withdrawals have been from giving up Diet Coke. Mostly in the form of intense headaches and major cravings - but then, caffiene is addictive, so I don't know quite what I expected to happen! While I was finishing my MA, I pratically lived on it to get me through the day - it was just so exhausting trying to juggle full time work and full time study, all at once. Anyway, I'm now trying to flush my system out a bit by drinking lots of water, so hopefully things will soon calm down and I can have the occasional one as a treat without any probs.

I really want to go to track tonight, but my foot is still painful - though it was my left one that hurt during the half, it's the right one that's now causing problems- only hurts when I pick my foot up off the ground which freaks me out because I don't want to think about what that may mean. So, I'm being cautious and will have today as a rest day too. Fingers crossed tomorrow it will be fine. Will definitely be asking Phil to check my shoes for me on wednesday, too.

Looks like Skiz and I may have to raincheck the adventure race for a while - it's still a bit too soon to organise everything in time. If we don't do it, I think I'll have a go at the 14km Novice race at the West End. If my foot isnt right, I may not even do that *pouts* Positive thoughts - lots and lots of positive thoughts.

Oh, and thankyou all for all the supportive comments, emails and text messages re the half :) It's so lovely to feel so supported :) you're all stars!
