#Juneathon Day 27 – Thwarted
Seriously, there’s been no snow or anything but Juneathon has been a right faff of compromises, injuries and half assed efforts. Today I planned to go for a run, at least a proper 5k run. I was planning to go with Mr Chick when he got back from work, and then at6pm he had just…

#Juneathon Day 25 & 26 – Feeling the Fear
Normally a member of the “ignore it and it’ll go away†school of injury management, it’s amazing how scared properly hurting my leg has made me. Yesterday my legs were very stiff following Roller Derby, I got all dressed to go for a run yesterday evening (less than 24 hours ago, so ner), and then…

#juneathon Day 24 – Rolling Rolling Rolling
Well, I risked a return to Roller Derby last night, even though my leg is still a little stiff. My leg ached slightly after a couple of falls, so I stopped falling on the leg, so right knee falls were the order of the day! Last night we covered some jumps and stepping drills, cross…

#juneathon day 22 and 23 – just a quickie!
Yesterday I was at Wyndstock, which isn’t a festival, oh no, it’s a midsummer ball, but it feels a bit like a festival. There is no 3G in the wilds of Norfolk so I couldn’t blog yesterday, but within 24 hour counts, so I’m not sure if I made it or not as I wasn’t…

#Juneathon Day 21 – The Bad Pants
Today I am in such a rush to get stuff done as I am going away for the weekend camping. At 2pm I thought I better go out quick. So off I went. Turns out that even if you’re only running a mile you should still put your proper running pants on and not…

#Juneathon Day 20 – The Day I Deleted my Photos
I went out for another short run today. No real pain from my thigh, but my achilles has started to feel sore, is this one of those “all the bits are connected” things? Who knows. Maybe the running gods just hate me this June. I carefully took photos of my feet and sweaty post run…

#juneathon Day 19 – Back on the Road!
Woo! Yeah baby! It might have only been a mile, but I am functioning normally, ish. I’ve never been so aware of every muscle twinge as I was today, terrified of hurting myself further. But I was ok. It was however hideously humid, which always affects my breathing as I’m asthmatic, so the mile was…

#Juneathon Day 17 and 18 – Don’t Look Now
In order to avoid boring you I’m doing 2 days at a time while I’m injured, still technically within the Juneathon rules as long as I write within 24 hours of exercising. I’m loath to give up Juneathon completely as with 12 days left to go I might be able to get back to it.…

#Juneathon Day 15 and 16
Well, I’ve been being sensible. The leg is much better, though I can’t bend it behind me more than a 90 degree bend without pain. So I am taking short walks and gently stretching it. Roller Derby is out for Monday, but I might try a short and slow run later in the week. Disappointed…
