On the upside, it stopped hurting so I started gently jogging again. Then running. I'm currently at around 45mins per 10km and totally without pain. I'll get the hip fixed sometime later. At least all the scans etc have been done and paid for.
Physio on my shoulder rotator cuff problems is making some progress. I've started a bit of gentle swimming again and managed to cruise to a relatively pain-free 6:04 in a 400m time trial during the week. Not racing, just taking it easy.
Biggest problem now is general fitness, and that the last 6 months of eating like a triathlete, training like a couch potato and drinking like a thirsty fish have made me really FAT.
Running has been good with a new PB set yesterday for 5km (18 mins 38secs).
Maintaining weight at the minute as eating and drinking too much (Xmas and all). 12 weeks til first duathlon in MK so that will have to be sorted come 1/1/09!!!
As for the feet freezing, yep everytime i go out, nothing seems to work at the minute. Maybe some neoprene booties?!
Although fingers were freezing.........
To keep toes warm on the bike I have thermal socks, sealskinz (which I hate as they give me trenchfoot!) but I think a pair of overshoes is probably called for.
Third degree stuff, rest of dead skin was cut away by doctor this morning, but the first one that was cut away 2 days ago is already healing, so lets hope these Two last ones do too!
So, no swimming for me![:(] (infection danger[X(]).
