Stupid feet!

Hello again everybody, thanks for coming back to read about my little run I'm going on.

Well I've managed to get myself a physiotherapy appointment. My amazingly flat feet have been walking and running on some custom built carbon-fibre orthotic insoles for a few years now but they are WELL past their best and my feet have been suffering for months now.

I'm looking forward to having plaster casts made of my plates of meat again. It's quite a weird sensation having it all glooped around your whole foot before drying and setting.

Then it has to be cut off with a chainsaw!

Well a Dremmel is a type of saw isn't it?

It'll be well after the Royal Parks Half-Marathon I'm running for The Stroke Association in October but will mean I can start enjoying going out in the crisp winter mornings that are soon going to be upon us.
 
Can't wait really.

In the mean time just increasing the mileage. Got a couple of weeks of build up before I'm taking my girlfriend out for a full 13 miles then we'll wind down in time for race day. It'll be hard work but that's the idea really.

Thanks to everyone who has donated and pledged so far please keep sending your money as it ALL makes a difference.

One of the findings which was funded by The Stroke Association was that Quick treatment following TIA or minor stroke could reduce the risk of a major stroke by 80 per cent.

This is fantastic news as it means people, like my mum, have massively increased recovery prospects.

Keep it up folks :)
