This has been a really tough week. After passing the big 250 mark I had a couple of awful days. I felt really ill and struggled through a couple of runs with a sore head and a bad cold. These were the toughest runs to date by a mile. Just as I thought things were looking up and I seemed to be past the worst of the illness I had an awful run where the arch of my foot became really painful. It felt as though I had strained something in the bottom of my foot and for the following 48 hours I had an intense pain shooting up the front of my shin. I managed to continue and maintain my minimum distance for both days but they were a real struggle. As the weekend arrived my legs felt a bit better and on Saturday morning I managed a long walk with Vicki without any problems. The walk was great and gave me a couple of hours worth of exercise without putting too much strain on things. I followed this with a gentle 5k run in the evening. Whilst this week has been a short one in terms of mileage I am glad that I can put it behind me. I plan on doing a long run tomorrow to make up for the shorter distances through the week and I still have plenty of time before the Edinburgh Marathon to work on my endurance.
