It's over two weeks since I fell over in Glasgow, and I'm still not running. I have finished a course of antibiotics, the leg is less painful, the oedema has abated somewhat. I return to the GP on Tuesday, and hope to be given a clean bill of health, so a return to running may be possible. In search of an alternative (for neither cycling or swimming were permitted) I have been racking my brains to think of some exercise I could take that didn't involve the use of my legs, without success, When I see runners, I feel less the sense of solidarity I used to. Can one go from runner to spectator so quickly?
After Tuesday, I'll look at what races remain in the Sussex Grand Prix, and which I could enter. I still want to run six of the GP races over the year, to remain eligible for the Seaford Striders club grand prix, and ideally eight, as the eight best, of which two must be ten miles or more, count towards the GP itself. So far I have done three, the Eastbourne half, the Rye 10 mile and the Worthing 10k.
For a much more cheerful view of recovery from injury, see Julia Armstrong's latest post, who knows far more than I do about both running and injuries.
