Fun Times!

It’s been almost two weeks since I posted, oops!  It has been a busy couple of weeks too!  I think I’ve finally caught up on all my email messages through here so sorry if you had a bit of a wait.

I had a great time up in Auckland last weekend, boy was it action-packed!  We went snowboarding on the Friday, first time for all of us.  My best friend and I went to Tiritiri Matangi Island on the Saturday, saw heaps of awesome native birds and were lucky enough that the weather cleared up for the most part as we were out in the open trekking around.  Sunday was the duathlon.  Mum was SOOO not looking forward to this haha.  Much to my surprise she decided to jog most of it, I was expecting to walk the whole way.  I think she did super considering she didn’t do much in the way of training, we lost eachother on the bike leg but regrouped and finished together which was really cool

Needless to say after that lot we were all pretty sore,  Mum could hardly move on Monday morning lol  But we got her out and walking and she felt better

I had a few sore muscles but amazingly my hip was FINE.  I was sooo surprised as I gave it a real thrashing.  I came home with a head cold and a sore foot.  The muscles have all recovered but the foot is really giving me grief as I can’t bend my toes when I walk.  Had my physio look at it tonight and it seems I very likely have a stress fracture in my 3rd metatarsal.  Not really much we can do for that but will have to think about having it x-rayed or a bone scan at some stage in the near future.

On a happier note I think the acupuncture is doing wonders.  I have had very little snapping since starting the treatment a couple of weeks ago so fingers crossed that is all it needs!  I still have my ortho appointment on Wednesday which I will keep as they are usually hard to get.  Plus it will give me peace of mind.

Hoping everyone is doing well!  I promise to try to keep up with the emails better
