My enthusiasm for the trek took a tumble, because I was worried about my leg. I haven't been able to train and it was getting me down. I've never done any sports before so I don't know about injuries, and although I had some good advice, I didn't really know which way to turn.
I have been resting it but it doesn't seem to be feeling any better. I miss my walking. This weekend I was due to do a four hour walk on Saturday AND Sunday.
So this morning I rang Carolyn who does sports massage and she kindly fitted me in for 20 minutes. She did some deep work and told me what to do. I bought a freeze spray and I'm just going to go out for a short walk on the flat to keep the muscle working. Then I'm gonna do a bit of 'on the spot' jogging to warm it up from the inside and give it a bit of a stretch!
And tomorrow morning I'm going back to Carolyn at 9am for a bit more massage work.
I'm gonna get back on track...... !!!!!
About Me
- Deborah
- My Father, Auntie and two of my brothers died because of Huntington's Disease. The Huntington's Disease Association has been a great support to me and my family but is struggling for funding and has had to let some of its much needed careworkers go. I wanted to help by raising awareness and funds for the families who are still suffering and to help find a cure for this terrible disease. After completing a trek on the Great Wall of China last year and raising over £10,000 I decided that if I wanted to raise even more money, I would have to have an even greater challenge. So now I've signed up to climb the world's tallest free-standing mountain - KILIMANJARO !
