#injuredrunner is FED UP

I don’t have any running photos to post because guess what – I am still not running. I’m seriously fed up now and don’t know how to take this forward.

I don’t have any pain as such in my foot but the niggle/tightness/whateveryoucall it is still there and my physio says not to start running until my foot has been not niggling me for a few weeks.

That. Is. So. Annoying.

Do I really wait and not run until 2020? Or do I push it a bit and see what happens i.e. if I actually get any pain?

I have been running 2 x 1 km to CrossFit several times a week and that little distance is absolutely fine. But the physio says no.

So I keep thinking that maybe I’m just making things worse.

(insert silent scream)

Of course life’s not ALL bad, there are plenty of good things, like swimming outdoors again, like Crossfit, like rock climbing.

Bouldering can be scary but it’s teaching me to ignore the constant voice that says what-if-I-fall and what-if-I-can’t and trust my body and guess what – most of the time I don’t fall (just sometimes I have no strength left to climb back down and take a voluntary leap 🙈) • • #bouldering #indoorclimbing #climbingupwalls #lookslikeIhavemuscles #whitespider

Slow-mo snatch 🏋️‍♀️ • • This is the hardest weight lifting movement for me. I just have no lats to stabilise that bar in the low position. • • The good news is that a few years ago I could just do this with a bar. Now I can do it with 10-15kg more and any progress is progress! • • #crossfit4evah #40isthenew20 #snatch #squatsnatch #girlswhosnatch #weightlifting #liftheavy #weighttraining #barbelllife

In the greater scheme of things I think the balance would definitely tip onto the positive side IF only some assholes hadn’t screwed off our shed doors on Sunday night and stolen two racing bikes.

Seriously. I don’t even know where to begin with this one. How do you not judge people who do things like that?

Who’s having a better week / month? Should I run or should I not? What would you do?
