Running 5:15 [3] 0.75 mi (7:00 / mi)
Failed run.
Headed to Grassmoor and planned to do 3 laps of the 1k loop before heading out on the trail if things felt well.
They didn't and I managed one lap. My achilles/peroneal/whatever it is, isn't happy. I could have kept going but I didn't want to make it worse.
I got a massage with Rich on Sunday, he wondered if it was a stress fracture. I don't think it is, but whatever it is couldn't have come at a worse time.
I don't really know how to move forward from here. I guess just take each day as it comes, I'm pretty gutted and sulky right now. I've always said that when my running "career" comes to a close, I just want to say I trained as hard as I could for something and got to see where that took me. I thought this race was going to be the one. Even if I ran shit I would have left Berlin happy.
What I don't want is to spend the next few days not running and then DNF or run shit and be able to blame this. There's no point cross training as what I really need is to keep in touch with the impact.
Serves me right for starting a sodding blog. Oh well.
