42 min classic ski with Per, just around, trying to figure out where we were, stopping at many signposts.

Heel still hurts when pressure is applied through it, so was keeping my weight way forward and on my forefoot.

Arrive in chalet in Lillehammer, commence circuits! Did 45 min + numbers with Duncan.

And back to the pool! Very happy it was so empty this morning. I wasn't really up for fighting for a place.

Swam for a bit, got bored, did 3 x 150m at the end, in 2.40 exactly each time. At least I'm consistent!

Back to telescope proposing.

Day off training. Day on full-time telescope proposal writing. Whew.

Bah!!!! Was just getting used to being non-injured. Hopefully this isn't bad though.

Basically, I woke up this morning and my heel hurts again. The same one that I injured at the O-ringen and then caused problems for 6 weeks. Not happy about this at all. Not sure if it's exactly the same thing, here's my thoughts:

Similarities:
-after orienteering
-pain presents overnight (so swelling?)
-hurts when I apply weight-bearing pressure

Differences:
-more in the center part of the heel than to the inside?
-I'm not doing a 12k race through Swedish marshes today like I did last time it started hurting- hopefully this means it won't get as bad!!!

So why has this happened again??? And what is it??? Bursitis? Plantar fascitis? It can't be a stress fracture can it?

Plan is to not run until it feels better (whew, look at me be smart this time). So back to the pool and on the bike. Really hope it's better before I go skiing next week... will be one unhappy camper if not.

C • what does... 4

Bit relaxed circuits, as everyone was tired. I had to skip out on all explosive stuff as I can't put weight on my heel. Not happy.
