I just had to put this one on I suppose because I have some affinity to it being English and living in Spain.

Managed to get out and go fo a run

I thought I better let you all know I have managed to get out running again and managed to do my 55 min run today.

All seems fine a little tired and the Achilles seems to have held up fine, so that is two days, which is a good sign.

I shall air on the side of caution and go for a run the day after, as I am a little stiff.
I must admit I was surprised that I am really getting back into running again and I am even considering getting on the Athletics track again, particularly as it is at the bottom of our road no excesses really but I do get the feeling it is calling me. We shall see!!

A Great Salsa Party

We all had a great night and only now have we recovered. The food was excellent, great friends and we danced till gone 4 in the morning. I am sure I have never danced with Conchi so much.

The only problem I was supposed to race today but I just couldn’t get out of bed.

The Largest Xmas Tree in The World

I though I had to put this picture in of the largest xmas tree in the world. I took the photo while we were in Lisbon Portugal the day before I ran the Lisbon half marathon. Not such a grat idea in the end.

Achilles Tendonitis, oh Great!!

Well it didn’t take long it looks as though I have now managed to pick up a running injury.

The problem with running is you try so hard to get fit and when you get a niggle and in my case this time it is the Achilles Tendon. You think it is nothing just one of those strains after a race, and you then say to yourself don’t be a whimp and not train get out there and push some more!!

Great idea as a result I’m now in more pain and I have picked up Achilles Tendonitis, lets hope I have spotted it soon enough and I only need to have a couple of days off running, then start slowly and avoid the hills as this is probably what inflamed the injury
