Guess what she told me, guess what she told me!!

I went to the doctor today. Wanted to find out whether I had done something more serious to my leg. A few weeks back, while out running I suffered a bit of an injury in my left calf area. I felt a sharp pain which led me to stop and walk home. After a bit of Physio I was able to resume light training again. I even got up to 13.1 miles in a personal best time. Then, on a subsequent run the right calf went. Exactly the same pain. Time was now against me for Brighton Marathon. I had to withdraw.
Over the past two weeks I have been doing NO running at all. Trying to give my calf muscles time to heal. Ironically, the latter, the right calf seems to have healed completely. But my left has been giving me a bit of a strange sensation deep in the core of the muscle. I was worried it was some sort of stress fracture hence the reason for visiting the doctor. Turns out, despite being impressed that I was planning on doing "The Marathon" She felt it was just a torn muscle. Which I suppose is a good thing. So, no more running for a couple of weeks but maybe some swimming and cycling should help the recovery program.

 This song pretty much sums up how I feel at the moment. I miss running.
