Injuries and pub quizzes...

Last Thursday, saw Rangers get their 3rd win on the trot, however, it came at a cost. A recurrence of the injury I picked up just before I went away on my hols. Fell awkwardly on my right ankle, swelling up like a balloon.

A visit to Stepping Hill and I was diagnosed with ligament damage, without much or an examination to be honest. And we were seen quite quickly too, have to say all my experiences with the NHS have been very favorable.

Downside is I have to rest it for 2 weeks so no more footy and annoyingly no more strenuous training runs before the Great North Run. That is the biggest worry. I'm up to 7.5-8 miles at the mo and reckon with adrenaline and the thrill of the moment I could push to 10. Its finding it for that last 3.1 that's going to be the problem.

The swelling has gone down significantly though since Thursday, and I reckon I may push myself for a run in a week and a half, just to keep in the rhythm. Im planning to go swimming too ovr the next few weeks, keept the movement there.

Went to Charlottes at the weekend, helped put up some flatpack furniture which wasnt that difficult surprisingly. Also, watched alot of cricket. Great game, great series though England did their best to contrive to lose it!!

Sunday night and me and Charlotte went to the local pub in Cockerham, owned by some famous jockey who is best mates with Michael Owen. Won the pub quiz on the tie break too, which was nice. £20 covered our drinks and then some!!

Thats all folks!
