Right, long time no update so here's what's gone down in the hood (well, middle-class Battersea) since the last good run...

Did some hill training, really really ouch, and had a bit of a knackered 6 miler around Battersea park as per. Sunday's run was a total non-starter which sucked. I have a recurring pain in my right foot which, after about 30 minutes was too much to run on so we had to give up and walk home. Massively disappointed.

It gets better though! I booked an appointment with a physio and went on Wednesday. She said that it's nothing to be too worried about, I just have a lazy hip-wonky calves-squiffy foot issue which is leading to my gammy-Forrest Gump-flipper foot problem. Her terms were far more technical but I feel mine are more illustrative.

She taped up my foot and it seems to be doing the trick! I've also got some exercises to do to strengthen my hip (definitely not to be done in public!) I can't get the foot tape wet so I've had some precarious/ridiculous showers with the help of a sandwich bag and a rubber band. Think of me what you will...

Did a 5 miler last night with the foot tape on and all went well apart from the fact that I was exhausted. Another easy run tonight with the tape off and then we'll try our long run again on Sunday, see how it goes. Follow up appointment on Monday, fingers crossed!
