Well its been a little while...I have been out of action on the running track! Have got a tendon/muscle issue which has kept me from running so I had to miss the Musick Point race last weekend.
Physio is NOT going to keep me from the next race in Western Springs tho in 3 weeks, and I have shown signs of improvement already.
You have to have 15 degrees rotation through the ankle to be able to run well - when I first went to the physio I only had 8 degrees in my 'good' ankle and 5 degrees in ma 'bad' ankle. Today its now 11 and 7 degrees so better but a way to go.
Apparently you can get it when a teenager when the bone grows but the muscle doesn't and so you have short muscles. But once you fix it it is fixed for life :)
Plus more annoyance....the Auckland Marathon has 750 places for the half marathon...and its already sold out! 6 months in advance of the race, some people are MAD. Oh well I will do the Waitakere Half Marathon instead a few weeks before on the 9th October.
So slow but steady I will back pounding those footpaths!
