Saturday 3rd of February 2018 - To get stones from a rock, you've got to break it
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - To get stones from a rock, you've got to break it
Hope it all goes well OH.
I don't think I'd persuade Mark to go that far Alehouse - Retford looks as though it may be a possibility though.
Heavy sleet and rain forecast for this morning - lovely. Waiting to hear from P whether he still wants to run with me or not.
What: an easy run of some description
Why: out for an Indian this evening
Last hard: waiting out the winter
Last rest: 24/1
Yesterday's lyrics - Don't Stop Me Now by Queen.

If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: no
What: not a lot apart from consultant appointment at 3
Why: acute T7 compression fracture needs putting right. Wonder how long that will take.
LMH: Retford would be a good choice! Four weeks of good training and then an easy week before seeing where you are at?
Cold and wet here but fortunately the sleet went through earlier and it's not windy or icy - glad you were able to get out chicksta.
Followed that up with 3 easy with Mrs RFJ and then a further 4.25 easy as (but faster) , so 10.41 for the day
That after a late night seeing Rend Collective at Bath Forum last night
OH thinking of you
Take care
Good pacing RFJ!
Appointment is at 3, LMH. And glad Retford is booked: good to have a focus.
What: 8 miles
Why: Body tired
last hard: this morning
Lyrics: Yes
Looking forward to the Rugby come on Wales:-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Think positively, LMH: when you pin a number on you may well be in a better place fitness-wise than you think you currently are!
GP has an open mind and she wants to see what the two consultants have to say, which I feel is sensible. The one thing that she did mention was that the calcium and vitamin D tablets that I have taken since 2004 may not be sufficient and we will perhaps be looking at a different treatment, possibly biphosphates.
So, consultant number one, the guy I was seeing about my Achilles injury. Had a long discussion about my medical history and possible osteopenia or osteoporosis which cannot be determined without further testing (dexa scan). Showed me the scan of the very clear fracture at T7. Said it is not unusual and recovery is usually good. Asked for bloods to be taken to check vitamin D levels. He echoed the possibility of biphosphates. He also said I need to be taking gentle exercise and has dictated a letter to the physio regarding gentle and appropriate stretching. Must not neglect the Achilles (I have been) and should use the exercise bike and gradually introduce swimming. I came out feeling very optimistic, although he did suggest that it is likely to be 6 to 8 weeks before any running (on top of the 4 weeks since it is possible that the fracture occurred).
Consultant two on Tuesday pm: cancer specialist who has been asked to see if there is any link between the fracture and any cancer that may be lurking. Hopefully he will order a bone scan or bone density (dexa) scan. Unlikely to be anything sinister, apparently, but everything needs to be considered given the prostate history.
No apologies for the above being longer than many a race report!
SC: hope you enjoyed the rugby...despite the result! I'm sure you did, WP!
Ale - sounds a comprehensive medical review, sounds like nothing to worry about just yet , lets see how Tuesday goes
LmH - yay, a race.
WP - you must be pleased with the result this afternoon!
OH - hope the gathering goes well and the send off goes well
What - 20.4 miles
Why - long run
last rest - 15/12
last hard - I guess I should say today but was actually ok (8.50s ave)
What wasn't nice was the non stop drizzle. If it was a the expected 4c it certainly didn't feel that cold.
lyric - possibly
Nice long run Dustin.
Good long run Dustin
Also difficult to take 8w without running. Hope tomorrow's appointment goes well. Be aware that scans may not give conclusive answers here.
Yes LMH always at Derby
What: 10 miles with a parkrun thrown in 80% plus wava but not great
Why: Saturday is run day
Last hard: today
Last rest:Friday 12th January
Lyrics: No
