Morning :D

I woke up this morning, like every morning at home with my lovely puppie dog, rupert next to me. Best training partner everrrr!!! Going to miss him when I finally get back to Scotland!

Well im suppose to be back in Scotland now but due to the weather all the trains that I need have disruptions and cancellations. Not good!! I was hoping to get back in time for the Edinburgh International as I would like to watch however my best bet for that is an early morning journey but thats if the trains are back up and running....... Doubt it!!!

Training wise, this week has been more or less the same as last because of my calf with just light runs, however the pain in my calf has *touchwood* disappeared and im running comfortable, apart from the tenderness in my shin, but I think this is due to the impact of running again, so just keeping and eye on it and making sure im running normally without a limp. I'd like to try out some strides but with the heavy snow and ice on the ground this is a no go as I cant actually stride on this surface especially with the weaknesses in my right leg. So looking good so far, but could be better :D

I loved the snow at first, with the whole 'white christmas' etc... and being able to go out and mess about in the snow and everything looking nice. My dad and sister built THE biggest snowman ever out the front, only for its head to fall off over night HAHAHA!!! Im hating it now, in that you cant actually do anything because its so deep. Its so boring at home because of this, and when im bored I eat loads, coupled with my lack of miles is not good :D Im not too worried as I have lots of training planned before my next race, so enjoying it whilst I can, Warm Homemade Flapjacks!!! :D

Not sure what im going to do today, as I haven't got enough money to continue online shopping! :( Not Fair, So much more I could buy!!!  Back to watching Jeremy Kyle I think :D

Im hoping the snow clears up this week, so I can stride out and pick my training up seeing as my leg seems to be 'ok' ... Liz told me im not to double up if I can't stride out because its obviously not healed 100% if I cant stride out so increasing mileage will just make it weaker and cause problems further down the line, which I cant afford to have if I want to achieve the things I do. Am starting to stress a little though with the amount of time im not in full training and it is stressing me that I seem to have no control over my body and its healing processes :(

Thank You everyone for your comments on my last post :D I Hope this one isn't too boring, because to be fair I haven't really done an awful lot since my last post because of weather and my leg. Hopefully next time I blog I will be back up in Scotland and able to tell you something different!!! (Like my leg is 100% better and im running lots :D)
