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
