Four days of taking it really easy, a ton of Ibuprofen, ice packs and an hour’s sports massage and I’m still feeling the wrong side of sore on my left shin.
This morning’s run wasn’t that bad but I’ve stiffened right up since so I’ve spent much of the day trying to find things to gee myself (not to mention cheer myself) up for the next few weeks before the Brighton Marathon and, indeed, for the next six months until the challenge is over.
One of the things I’ve been thinking of for a while is introducing a charity element to my running – if I’m suffering, then someone else might as well gain – and I’m thinking of splitting the proceeds between two different charities. I should, hopefully, be able to launch that next week.
I’ve also decided to try and promote the site more so I’ve had some running shirts printed with 1095miles.com related information on them.
I’ll be wearing them most days when they come in – especially on my longer runs – but I’m also running the Water of Life half marathon in three Sunday’s time at Bisham Abbey and I’m hoping wearing one of the shirts might get some of the other runners to have a look at what I’m up to.
Finally, I’ve also dropped the editor of Runner’s World a little note – just to see if he wants to do anything on the site.
I’m hoping it will all help me keep focussed through the current injury laden blip.
