Going to rack and ruin
I hadn't realised that it had been so long since I last made an entry here, it was only when Pixie stuck her head round the corner that I thought I ought to say something.
So - I'm still unable to run due to Plantar problems and its depressing me. To make matters worse it seems to be having a detrimental effect on my entire life. I feel really lethargic and basically in a can't be bothered mood. I'll have to give up on the idea of running both Abingdon Marathon and the New Forest Half. I've lost far too much training.
Decided that I definitely needed to break out of that spiral so cycled into work this morning and what a great idea it was beautiful morning and got into work feeling full of energy and ready to face the day ahead. Of course with my luck that couldn't last was cycling home this evening and suffered a puncture, unfortunately I was going downhill and lost control when turning off the road to fix the puncture. I've now got a small dose of road rash on my knee and elbow.
Now for the good news I'm off on holiday this Saturday for 2 weeks Yipee! I need this break.

Ladies - Thanks for the thoughts.
Pix - I want to use the bike more often for getting to work its just a case of getting back into the habit.
Beanz - I haven't been doing any exercises for the PF, do you know of any?
BTW the PF seems to be getting a lot better. The Chiro did some work on my foot on Monday and it has improved dramatically since then.

have you looked at this
http://heelspurs.com/index.html
a bit extreme with its descriptions of things to strap to you
but after reading that I bought a sloping footrest for my desk - and used that to stand on at an angle
and I always stretch before I get out of bed now
no problem for a while
