Je suis blessé

or as they Irish put it 'Feck!'. I've spent weeks trying to build up the energy and enthusiasm that is required of a virgin London marathon runner to get off my ass and get out and run 4/5 times a week. I finally thought I was getting to grips with it - putting in a good 8 miler on sunday but alas one step forward and two steps back. :(

Last week I mentioned that my left foot was at me, unfortunately things have not improved since, so yesterday I went and got it checked out. 'A pulled ligament, rest for 3/4 days, take anti-inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen and see how it is then' is the response I got.

Normally I would jump at the opportunity of not having to drag myself out for a 4/5 mile run in the freezing cold after staring at a computer screen for 11 hours or so. But I can't help but feel abit pissed off. Although having said that I know that it's better to rest now than have to face this a few weeks/mmonths from now.

So the sitting and waiting begins...

In the mean time I get a chance to focus more on my fundraising and I've also added a forum to my blog (see right hand side) where you can post ideas about races/fundraising etc
