Yesterday, on Saturday, I tried the Druid's Valley run and completed only one round - the 2.2 miles in about 18 minutes. The shin splints were hurting about the same as normal, however, the Achilles tendon had a bit of a sharp pain, so I started out easy, hoping that it would abate. The shin splints seemed to get less but the Achilles tendon pain did not, so I called it quits after the first lap and didn't do the other two. It was disappointing to have to stop, since I was meant to meet Thomas on Sunday for a long run. Now I need to decide what to do since today I felt the Achilles hurting quite a bit. I do need to get this looked at. It does seem like a tear of some type. It may be some time before I update the blog again!
Though I had a loose agereement to meet Thomas at 2pm (I told him to not wait after 2 since I may not be able to make it) I knew with my Achilles that there was no way I could run today - though I really wanted to. It turned out, when I went to the church in Dublin - at Trinity.ie - after the service, Sarah invited me over to her and Fergus' house for lunch/dinner - what a wonderful time with everyone - definitely far more enjoyable then a long run! Though such runs are a great joy in their context. There were people from all nations - Naoma with her mother and niece and husband. Naoma is from Brazil as are her mother and niece - her husband Zsolte is from Hungary. Then there was Valdis from Lithuania and also Simon from England, and also Christine from Dublin along iwth Fergus and Ryan - a greeat time had by all!
Check out that painting on the wall - that has the curtain blowing in the wind - that was painted by Fergus (far right of picture).
