It's a Living Thing

What a crap week it has been weather wise, it’s either raining or on the verge of raining and tonight it’s so cold. I wish I was somewhere warm either lying on the beach or having some nice cocktails by a pool.

Work this week has been busy for me, it goes from one week having not enough to having too much to do. I don’t mind having to work harder or longer days but I am so far behind on my coursework now it’s getting stupid. I’m about 30 hours behind and I want to catch up as soon as I can because before I know it my next assignment will be due so I need to spend five hours on it tomorrow and at least three hours daily although I hope to get a lot more done. Work wise this coming week shouldn’t be too bad so I can hopefully spend five hours a day on my coursework on at least two of the days later in the week which is good.

I managed to get out more running wise this week which was good and was meant to get up early this morning and go again but it didn’t happen because last night I started to feel unwell so I thought after a good nights sleep I should be OK but I couldn’t even wake up I was so tired so had some more time in bed and still woke up tired and unwell. On top of that I seem to have an injury which didn’t come on until last night. My left foot is in agony and I have a similar pain in my right food although that isn’t too bad. I know it’s a running injury because of the position I need to have the feet in for it to hurt the most but what I can’t understand is when it happened because I ran Thursday and it wasn’t until over 24 hours later when it started to hurt the way it is. It’s doesn’t feel like a muscle injury which isn’t good but also it doesn’t feel like a tendon injury because I know what that feels like so that leave bones. It’s unlikely I’ve broken any bones because I was running in trainers but it doesn’t means there isn’t a chipped bone or something but the fact of the matter yeah it can happen but in two feet not likely. So I will see how things go and hopefully the pain will go down, there is no swelling but again that doesn’t mean it’s not some kind of bone injury. So even if I was well today I couldn’t of run but I would of gone on the exercise bike if I wasn’t so tired or ill.

Running I ran Tuesday and came home and went on my exercise bike, I was so tired that night and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. On Thursday I ran more but I didn’t get the chance to go on the exercise bike because I didn’t have the time to do so because I was getting my nails done. I was meant to run and go on my exercise bike but illness and injury prevented that. I did hope to go for a walk tomorrow but that all depends on how I wake up feeling and the weather etc. If I don’t get out it won’t be the end of the world but if I feel well and it’s not raining then I’d like to get out for at least half an hour sometime during the day. I’m hoping to run Monday regardless of the weather but it all depends on how my feet feel, if they are still in pain then I will go for a walk and then go on the exercise bike. If I am still in pain in my feet by the end of the week then I will have to go and see a doctor and luckily two of the doctors I see are runners (one was a member of my running club but she’s just had to quit because she had to have a hop replacement although she’s only 40.... the other is married to a member of my running club) so they will be more understanding than other doctors.

Nothing too exciting happen this week other than buying some nice slightly expensive and highly fashionable platform sandles which are to die for as well as a couple of clothes items and some jewellery including a lovely apple necklace and a butterfly bracelet.
