In a rut

Well, my planned comeback has been something of a disappointment. I was doing well initially with some tentative runs, building up to 3-4kms, 3 times per week but then the cramping, tightness and soreness came back in my calves, soleus and even in my ankles. The tightness has spread to my hamstrings so after a gruelling massage, cupping and acupuncture session last week, I've been ordered into the pool by the good Chinese doctor.

So to the pool I've been, twice and now it's time for some more stretching.

I've organised a big group hike this weekend with the Trailwalker girls and former work colleagues. It's an undulating 12.1km hike through the Olinda valley. We'll see how the body holds up.
