HuRTS Mona Fartlek

Yesterday, saw Carl in the morning with my quads still screaming but my heel absolutely fine. Then saw Dr Kuah in the evening. He seems to think it's more likely to be "insertional tendinopathy" as opposed to retrocalcaneal bursitis but I'm having an ultrasound next week to determine which. The tendinopathy will be easier to treat (prevent coming back) so I'm hoping it's that. He seemed to think my shoes were the main problem, as well as calf tension. He said not to stop running but just to take it easy.

So popped down to HuRTS for Mona Fartlek and ambled around the back with Ray and Chris G. Useful to take the floats easy and stretch the legs on the faster bits. Easy jog around Farm Cove at the end for about 9km all up. Durante was flying, making the Stone Gates (which no-one has done in a while). He's the man in form at the moment and my Head to Heads could take a bit of a battering. Still had a slight headache from last night at Hurricanes and the Beach Road. The usual trash talking (particularly from Timmy and Kanser). Wildman has gone soft. He's so fit now he can't hold his beer so I'll have to rename him Pussyboy. Durante had to drag him home early after he started waxing lyrical about the 20 year old girls in his squad....
