Benjour mes copains de courir! (pidgin Franzosich!)
week from hell this week - Tuesday morning - couldn't get out of bed easily - wrenched my lower back somehow, just above the sacrum... had to spend pretty much all day lying flat on my back on the floor... I'd promised I'd take the scouts' training session on running that evening - we're putting together a triathlon for them and somehow they learned that I do a bit of running! - anyhow, I was planning on running (literally) all the training plans I had for them, with them, but in the end I could only stagger about the playing fields like like a drunkard that had messed his trousers.. hugely uncomfortable and a little embarassing...suffice to say there was simply no way I could run and remain upright.. however I'm pleased to say that the pain is lessening and some gentle careful linear stretching each morning seems to be helping.. it feels very tight  - I wonder if I should try a sports massage, but given how much bodyfat I've lost on this challenge it would be like playing a xylophone! I'm a day out therefore but will this week do a double header to make up for it... Got Saunders Mountain Marathon this weekend, which I'm now very much looking forward to - it's funny how your body forgets the pain and discomfort of the LAMM last month!
