Might be ok

Well a month on from the last blog...
The low leg pain and swelling just got too much, so after a natter with my sports medic friend Mark I didn't run for 3 weeks. The general drift was probably lateral compartment syndrome (MRI, fancy test running with a cannula stuck in my leg, then left to the mercy of an orthop with a knife) or periosteitis. So leaving the running alone for a wee while before I subjected myself to this conveyor belt, I thought I ought to make my leg hurt and be swollen for mark to have something work with this week. So a nice easy run last thursday-no pain, a run with bro in law on sunday for 75mins no pain, a tempo run tues - no pain (postponed my appt feeling a bit of a fraud) then today 12miler slow first 6 then 15min quicker 2nd 6 and still no pain. So maybe I am cured(supporting diag of periosteitis.
Let's see - but so good to be back on the road.
