Good but not quite there yet!

6/6 - This week has seen a little adventure south for The Tattoo Runner!  The family and I ventured down to Yamba, NSW for my mums 60th.  It was a super nice time away sharing it with family and friends and also going on some fun adventures!  Most importantly, happy birthday to mum!Unfortunately, I am still not running however seen a new physio who believes I may have a tendonopothy (or tendinitis, I always get confused between the two) in the tendon inserting into the right side of my pelvis.  This is good and bad.  If its not a hernia that will mean no surgery (I hope) however this type of injury can take a long time to heal so I have to be patient!  Insert frustrated face here!  I will do my best to do as I am told but it is not going to be easy!  I can still ride and walk so that is a plus!Whilst in Yamba I went on some cool adventures scrambling on some cliffs, finding some beautiful hidden trails and tying to enjoy the cold weather!  I got to do a lot of this with the family too which made it all the more enjoyable.  I also ate super clean whilst down there too so that was a big bonus!All this is a very slow build for GH100!  I have some big plans for the race this year provided I can get running soonish but am going to do the best I can on the bike and maybe some cross training.  In the meantime, if I can keep dropping some weight in prep to start running again this will be a massive advantage.  We are still about 14weeks out so I have a little time up my sleeve....only a little!  The clock is ticking!All in all, things are positive, even though I am not running.  I need to keep looking ahead and finding a way to make fitness happen.  Its hard when we can't do what we love but I will keep calm and carry on.  I trust this finds you all chipper, smiling and loving life!  Hope and pray you all have a rad week and well catch up same time, same channel next Wednesday!  Much love, Mat
