Don't know why I started the blog with that, I have no intention of really celebrating I've work to do!
Anyway, I promised to update with photography and marathon info, so here I am again with the latest.
I have all sorts of photography ideas buzzing round my head, from travel photography (reading a really great book at the moment, highly inspiring) to using an old Holga or Diana camera. I also have thoughts of getting a pretty decent transparency/negative scanner. Would love to scan some of my negatives or other peoples for that matter, and start putting some slide show type things together :) We shall see how things pan out.
Now onto the marathon, bit of depression in this area at the moment, I'm freakin' plagued with injury! On Sunday there I was full of good intentions and ready for the half marathon, or so I thought. I'd been getting a niggle in the right ankle, but it wasn't really stopping me from running, that is until Sunday came around! I literally ran for about 2 minutes and had to come back, there was no way it could stand any sort of impact! So so frustrated, there is swelling and a lot of tenderness, on Sunday I ended up going for a cycle instead as it has low impact. I had to do something to try and keep the fitness levels up. I've been doing all sorts to get the swelling and pain down, from exercises to methylated spirits, yes that's right, what a stupid and useless old wives tale!
Anyway there is still pain in it, and I can't risk it and run on it just yet, I'm just praying that it comes good again. I am keeping positive as my knee (fingers crossed) is ok again. I can't give up, I'm half way through training, and I will be doing this marathon one way or another..
Keep praying for me :) *grabs ice pack*

Running is bad for you, stick with the bike! I mean after the marathon cause they'll disqualify you if you don't run it :(
ReplyDeleteWhat Gord said. This is why cycling is better for you - all of the health benefits with none of the impact! Get that MX2 I showed you the other day and we'll have a wee burn round the forest ;)
