Last week I started trying to get a little consistency back, and I managed two consecutive days of running, but the distances were only five miles. That's ok though, thankfully I haven't gotten any illness after the marathon, and I think the down time has helped. Getting back into the running again will feel fresh after a break.
The only problem might come in the form of a broken toe.
I am in the USA as I write this, and while packing my stuff the other day, I accidentally kicked my toe off the suitcase. I was in a major hurry, and didn't have time to agonise too much, although it was very sore. I headed to the airport, and two flights later I am sitting on a flight with my toe throbbing like crazy. I had a pretty good idea it was broken, but it wasn't really appropriate to whip off my sock at that point.
When I got to the hotel, on inspection, sure enough the entire toe was black and blue and purple. Purple is always the give away! My left foot looks a pretty sorry sight. The toe beside the broken one is already black from the marathon, and it looks like the nail on that one is a going to leave my body shortly. Anyway, there is nothing to do for a broken toe, it's not my big toe, and it actually doesn't hurt all that much anymore ... Much.
I haven't told the wife yet, but I signed up for the entire Dublin marathon race series the other day, including the marathon. Oh well, here I go again.
