It’s really unlike me to miss a long run but I just didn’t have it in me today. I had this and the swim and I would usually miss the swim. I had to listen to what my body is saying and go for what felt like it would do the least damage…based on how I felt yesterday a swim felt wiser….I’m not sure what’s happened the last few days I was fine Wednesday. I saw the osteopath Friday and he did some work on my pelvis so potentially a knock on from that or maybe I’m getting ill. But I ache all over and feels like I’ve been tied in a knot down my right hand side. I want to be able to enjoy the race next Sunday so hopefully sitting this out having a swim and doing some extra stretches will set me back onto the right path. I’ve chased my MRI to make sure the referral has been made so just waiting on a date for it.

I think it’s how we reflect on missed sessions sometimes that is important. So in no way should it be seen as a failure, but a strategic decision, a wise one, a positive. Which I think you are already seeing it as, which is great. Well done on the swim as well, that was impressive and I just hope you feel better soon. Onwards and upwards.
