RICE
It was a mixed week last week ...
The good: Clare turned 15, and has role (with lines) in her 4th year of school production, breaking out of the chorus into the cast. I heard good reports from her drama solo and it appears she did well despite being very anxious about it.
The Bad: Her guaranteed birthday parcel missed it and is now being tracked down by the post.
The Good: Andrew won his final. Just to get there he played the last game of doubles, the week before and they had to win by 2 to have chance. 4 nil down and not looking good, they fought back to 5 even and then took out the game 7-5. This forced the sudden death tie breaker and a chance to make the final. The rest is history.
The Bad: I missed it. (Not doing too well at the moment)
The Good: I finished the last big training week. Hammered some of my best ever runs.
The Bad: Saturday started with pain in the lower vastus medialis which became excruciating. I pulled out and caught the train back at 13K. There was swelling and pain to walk. Stairs were the worst and I couldn't go up them. I applied ice nearly each hour all day and followed the RICE method for the 48 hours.
Doesn't feel too bad and perhaps as good as it did before Saturday. I will rest it for another day or maybe two. If there is no pain at all, I'll try a light run. Maybe Wednesday.
Sorry this ain't no cupcake ....

Sounds like the good, the bad and the really ugly. The injury must have given you a scare. I sure hope it is mending well. Fortunately the taper has begun so all should be good for the big day.
Oh no!
What do you think the diagnosis is on the injury? It seems a bit sudden and severe to be an over-use injury and it is not a usual muscle that will get a tear or strain while running.
The training is done so give it plenty of time to heal before the race.
Sorry to hear about the bad stuff. Taper away!
The good's all good. Go kids!
Looks like just a flesh wound to me.
I hope that you will not post anymore bad stuff for at least one century!
he riced it so much i was looking to dump tofu and hoisin sauce on him.
Hopefully the ice and the cupcakes will do the job.
congratulations to the kids, by the way.
