My feet were pretty sore after the walk to Peel, especially my right foot, specifically under the arch. I think that I reaaaallly need a decent pair of walking trainers. It’s been OK to get away with my worn out sports trainers on the previous walks as we haven’t gone particularly long distances but if my feet are feeling this bad after a 25 mile walk I hate to think what they’ll be like after the Parish!
I took it relatively tenderly on the Monday spinning session & picked it up over the rest of the week. Unfortunately I got smacked square in the knee by someone having a shot in our 5 – 2 win against Saracens in the hockey at the weekend. It is extremely sore and has swelled up considerably and as it was hit directly on the boney part in the middle the bruise has spread both above & below it.
Unfortunately as I can barely walk I had to call off Sundays walk, I’m annoyed about this as not only does it mean my training’s suffering but I’ve had to let down Dave at the last minute. Hockey is a rough sport & has a potential for a lot of injuries that can affect my training program, but for the time being I am going to stick with it as I enjoy it too much to stop, perhaps nearer the end date I’ll stop to ensure that I’m OK for the big walks!
However i'm sure you'll be glad to hear that I didn't let my knee stop me from drinking, it being Dave & my friends Birthday celebrations on the Saturday night. It was honoured in great style with a beer pong competition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_pong).
I'd never played before but absolutely loved it, it's a great competitive game involving beer & throwing ping pong balls in cups of beer - what more could you ask for? Myself & Chunk were partners in the game & I think it's fair to say destroyed the opposition! I look forward to playing it again in the future.
It was a disappointing & sore week in terms of training, I just hope my knee recovers quickly!
