Back to square one... an addict comes clean.
Sunday 17/12/06:
HI, my name is Vicky and I'm a running addict... Its a trillion days since I last had a real run...
I've attempted to quell my addition by doing a "jog" in the middle of my walks every second day... But even that seems to have worked against me... If I thought the leg was slightly niggly again on Thursday and Friday, it was worse still on Saturday. I was back to really feeling it when going upstairs and even walking round on it was causing twinges of pain right when I'd least be expecting it. Today it has been slightly better, but then I've spent half the day sitting on my backside in the car... I am totally peeved that I have therefore not done even a scrap of exercise this weekend. I thought the "active" recovery was working well, but obviously I've been forced to reassess that now and thought it best to totally rest the leg for a couple of days. I don't know if the swimming on Wed night has contributed - wouldn't think so and I certainly felt nothing whatsoever from the area at the time - or whether it is putting the jogging into my walks that has done it... While its like this I don't even want to attempt a bike ride for fear of making it worse still... Have decided I will "walk only" tomorrow morning (cos if I don't do something I will go totally insane) talk to my physio about it tomorrow and see what she suggests and go from there - not a happy camper at all...
To add insult to injury - I can't post comments to anyone who has changed to Beta Blogger - and trust me I have tried... So sorry folks, I have been reading your blogs, just can't let you know!
The long car trip today was due to getting together with extended family that we won't see on Christmas Day. Over 20 of us got together for lunch at the Waihi Beach RSA, close to where my grandparents live, about 2hrs south of Auckland in the Waikato region. It was quite funny as my sister and I sat in the back seat, while my Mum drove and Courtney sat up front with her. It was like being kids again and we threw some squabbling in just to make it more authentic for Mum! On the way home Courtney was listening to my iPod Shuffle in the front (singing out loud - very funny!) so Vanessa and I shared her Nano in the back. (Mum dislikes music on when shes driving.) If Mum wanted to say anything to anyone, she'd have to get our attention first! How rude!

The family car trip- we would drive 6 hours every Christmas to Adelaide- three of us in the back, car sick and arguing the whole way-your Mum was probably happy with the peace and quiet!
