There’s always been a couple of reasons why I have this blog;
1️⃣ my own personal journal of my journey/adventures
2️⃣ I’ve always said “if I can inspire, help & support just one person then that’s super positive”
I am passionate about keeping an open & honest narrative but have realised this week that I don’t always do that. I have a hip niggle at the moment (I don’t call it an injury because then that makes it official 😂) and it’s a niggle I’ve had before. So, I decided I would search back in my Instagram grid & here to see how long the niggle took to chill it’s beans last time – it’s no where to be seen. I can see it over on Strava but only because I know what I’m looking for.
Perhaps I think that if I don’t mention it out loud then it doesn’t exist 🙄
Perhaps I’ve been adverse to someone then judging my training 😳
Perhaps I’ve just been in a total huff and decided not to talk about it 🤔
So, instead, this time, I’m going to show up.
The hip was a low level niggle into Jarrow 10km. It didn’t get worse with running and was loosening off when I ran. I ran Jarrow 10km and it was dandy up to 4.5miles, it then became more pronounced. I finished.
I’ve backed right out since.
It’s almost 2 weeks now. I am committing to getting my S&C re-established and starting to bring together a bit of a plan.
I’ve noticed that the pronation on my left foot is worse with the niggle and wearing firmer shoes (trail shoes) is helping – it may be that I need to get some support shoes for easy miles and recovery and to re-establish my running back 🤔
So, let’s get back, let’s get strong and let’s keep a log of the journey as we go.
If you’ve got this far then thank you 🙌 perhaps just throw a random emoji in the comments to confuse those who didn’t get so far 😂
