Its been a good week regarding the previous injury.  This means it feel like it is almost fully recovered although it does just let me know every now and again that its there.  So its important even now that I keep up my routines for stretching and supporting it as much as I can.  Love the feeling of planning the new challenges and what training I will need to do, motivation brings it all together perfectly!

Today brought back another element of my training that I dropped off while the heel was bad due it making it hurt, this is the one and only 'Body Balance' great title, so inappropriate for me lol!  So back to the old habits I met with John who also hasn't been going very much and we had our pre-class routine of stretching, chatting and laughing at how rubbish we were at the class.  I moved in to the studio in like a stealth move so as to reclaim our spots at the back of the class.  It was a new routine but I was equally as bad it as before but feel the benefits, its great for an hours stretching and brilliant for all my faults. It looked like we were trying to stand up whilst someone was rolling millions of marbles underneath us we were that bad! Balancing is one thing but having to then stretch out and bend my arm in a certain direction whilst looking up to the ceiling was not easy at all.  My lack of flexibility restrains me a little some what in the session but hopefully over time that will improve by doing it.  I came out of it and had to rush on to the tennis court as I had a lesson immediately after, but instantly I could feel it in my quads, hips and back so I new it was doing me good.  I hope....



Gentle run tomorrow as still haven't got rid of this cold as have a sore throat now eek! Then hopefully a bit longer on Wednesday, and then a few days rest before marathon day.  I'm going to be a mess, hobbling like Quasimodo dragging my left foot, slumped over as my back will probably be bad and looking like a Zombie no doubt.  Quite excited actually!
