Event: JOK Chasing Sprint
 

Looks like I'm going to end up with very well trained legs, did many varieties of squats, lunges and stepups.

Jogged over to St. James Park then tried to do a tempo run, managed 2km before elbow started really acheing so gave up and jogged back. Looks like I won't be doing the 10K on Sunday, will stick with easy jogging.

I seem to have accidentally fixed my seized elbow! On Monday evening my elbow was fixed at a 90 degree angle, I couldn't straighten it, I couldn't bend it any further. Then, walking around the flat I missed a stair, threw my arms out, managed not to fall but ended up squeeling in pain for the next 10 minutes. Weirdly once the pain subsided I found that I could move my arm, I now have almost a complete range of motion except the very extremes of rotation. Today I had my appointment at the fracture clinic and the consultant was really quite surprised at how much I can move it given the state of my X-rays. In addition to the fracture in my radius there's a small crack at the end of the humerus and I ought to be looking at 6 weeks of physio to get it back in action. As it is she said I was OK to try exercising as long as it doesn't hurn and I rest my arm in the sling as much as possible the rest of the day. So I went for the slowest jog ever over to my sports massage appointment and back again and my arm felt OK, yay :)

OK so despite the optimism it turns out I have a radial head fracture. Fortunately I haven't been plastered, just have to wear a sling.
