!!!!! Just when the training was going well, and my running strength and speed with a backpack had reached a new level, an injury happens. I guess that is part of training and taking part in events like these. I have now a soft tissue injury to my foot arch which is surprisingly very painful, it was mild until I took part in another trail race last Saturday and caused more damage. Oh well, patience is the key with lots of icing, stretching and a few physio visits. The goal now is to get through this as quickly as possible but making sure the foot is properly healed before getting back on track with the training. The race starts on Saturday 20th October - 91/2 weeks to go !
