Re: Running Down Dementia
Just over 120kms run now. Good run of 7 miles today, but I think I've knackered my achilles tendon. I'm proper hobbling at the moment.

Re: Running Down Dementia
Well this is bloody frustrating. Not been able to run since 16th June because of this achilles tendon.

Re: Running Down Dementia
She's good thanks Trev, just doesn't understand the need for shorter slower walks!
I did try a few yards of gentle jogging yesterday but it was too painful and I really don't want to make the condition worse. The general consensus among runners is that it takes quite a while for achilles tendons to mend and running again to soon can cause more serious, and possibly long term damage. |

Re: Running Down Dementia
It's called getting old Gary
I'm suffering with left leg problems which are really annoying me now, as my usual stretches haven't resolved the tightness and soreness. Might need to do some pain on the foam roller You have my sympathy.

Re: Running Down Dementia
Thanks guys. I'm finding it hard not to be able to run. The running is good for me mentally as well as physically. I'll just have to be patient I guess.

Re: Running Down Dementia
First run since mid June. Very gentle jog round this lovely route. Walked up the steeper sections and the achilles tendon is feeling good.
A couple of weeks is needed at a similarly gentle pace I think. Back to the proper fundraising for this great cause. My thanks to all who have donated so far. Any and all donations towards this would be very gratefully received. |

Re: Running Down Dementia
Been back to the regular running for a while now and clocking up the miles. Heading into the final month of this fundraiser for dementia research. Huge thanks to all those of you who have donated so far. Total stands at £185.70. Be great to get that over the £200 mark, so if you haven't already, I'd be hugely grateful if you'd consider making a donation.
Ta! |
