Last Friday evening, things seemed to be getting worse, although my liquid intake continued, I showed more signs of dehydration than I had before, but Saturday was a new day, things had........settled down shall we say and I ate a little more than previously. Sunday I felt nearly normal and actually ate well, then Monday was back to work and what a day it was, short staffed and with disruption the afternoon was particularly heavy going and (having planned an easy run) my legs ached as I went home so I called it off. But that wasn't the last of it. the ache never left, and when I went to bed at around 11, it got worse and worse. Real pain, like a crushing sensation and it was all centred on my left leg. I couldn't sleep 1, 2 o'clock, and my mind of course was turning over the possibilities. Would I have to give in and call the doctor what if I couldn't walk, what was the actual problem and depending on the answers.... would it affect my chances of making it to the start line???
I woke up with the alarm at 645 and had a pain free day at work. Still bemused by what it was, but it's gone.
And tonight, I headed out on a throttled back easy going circuit of the island. It was nice to get on the road and having taken it easy all the way round, it was gratifying to see my time at the end. 48 mins for 4.6 miles. It'll do, it's added to my mileage and shown me that all is not lost. A gentle build up now and all will be well.
