I’ll be honest with you.. I’m nervous for my next race, the
Why? It’s because I’m injured and while there is no time expectation on me, I do kinda need to get over the finish line. And that’s because a charity is dependent on the money I’m raising and I don’t want this race series to be going into 2028!!
My left Achilles hasn’t been great for 3 weeks now since a speed session 9 days before the Lisbon half marathon. I completed Lisbon 3 weeks ago but I’ve been in pain ever since. I’ve received a lot of treatment from shock wave, chiropractic and deep tissue massage with dry needling and while it’s much better than it was I’m definitely not pain free.
On race day I’m going to wear my compression calf guards, wear heel lifts, take high strength pain relief before and after, take it much slower on the day and hope to cross the finish line. And smile 😀
I’ve committed so I will do my best to cross the finish line even if a little bit broken. As I know I’m still privileged that I get to do this at all.
