Training Log Archive: Magic

Aishy said that I should be being as active as possible so I now have to fend for myself! Horrible girl. Got dragged out for two walks (which were painfully slow but not actually too painful) and have been feeling reasonably good all day despite cutting right down on the painkillers. Slept well last night and everything is aching less in general (at least when I keep still).

C • French mountain air 4

Flight down to the Pyrenees to stay with my parents for a while and some quality recovery time. Queuing in the airport was a challenge as was walking to and from the plane, but by far the worst bit was the landing, which the pilot smashed onto the runway with a massive hop and a second bang. Hurt my neck quite a bit and has set it back a few days. They then had the cheek to play the fanfare for arriving, it hurt, but it was funny.

Fracture clinic this morning, new x-rays; nothing new found and my neck appears to be stable, shoulder to be reviewed in a fortnight. Prognosis is 6 - 8 weeks off work waiting for my ribs to fix themselves, which will also mean the same amount of time away from running. Will hopefully be able to get on a turbo trainer a bit earlier though. Either way, it's a loooong time to be doing nothing.

A lot of discomfort last night - everything in my back seemed to be grating against each other every time I moved, so I didn't get a lot of sleep. Settled down a bit with a few drugs in the morning and caught up with some sleep in a chair! Fionne then kicked me out for some air and I managed to walk a good 400m. Some way to go yet.

C • Michael Johnson 3

Another day of nothing nothingness. Boyzone has been looking after me well and a pleasant visit at lunchtime has been the extent of the day.

Pain seems to be getting slightly better (when I'm keeping still) but shoulder has been aching a lot today. However getting up and sitting down hasn't been too hard today but it's still incredibly difficult to do anything. It's such a useless feeling not being able to do anything.

C • mental 2

This is the first week (Monday-Sunday) in three years of using AP that I haven't had any training to lot at all. Not a first that I wanted to achieve, but one that will be repeated this week.
