Week 10 of GNR training got off to a slow start, resting on both Monday and Tuesday due to pure exhaustion. On Wednesday I went for a steady 6 mile run from Newburn through to Wylam and back to Newburn, which was a nice evening and the running felt quite relaxed.
However, everything was turned on its head on Thursday when I got in from work with a swollen leg. Having absolutely no idea why it was swollen, I put on my running clothes only to realise it was too painful to run. Instead, I put ice on my leg and rested it on cushions, hoping it would be better the following day, but also annoyed I’d missed a day of training, after already missing a day on Tuesday.
