Monday- Today I went for swim after the long 15 mile run. I did 60 lengths.
Tuesday- Today I set out to run 7 miles but unfortunatly had a fall on the first mile. I badly hit my knee, shoulder and bruised my chin and lip. I booked a doctor's appointment the same day and after a check-up I was advised to take a week off running. Thankfully nothing serious but my leg was very swollen and difficult to walk on.
Wednesday- Day off. I found it very difficult to walk today but felt better than yesterday!
Thursday- I went for a 60 length swim, it was quite painful to move my knee and shoulder but the pain eased after a few lengths. I went to the sauna to relax my muscles after.
Friday- I went for another 60 length swim.
Saturday- 60 length swim
Sunday- 60 length swim
I'm looking forward to getting back to running next week but it has been good to have more of a relaxing week of exercise. An experienced runner friend from Edinburgh Athletics advised me that this is a good time to take a break before a Marathon.

Running Diary 16/03/15- 22/03/15
Monday- 60 length swim I went for a swim today which eased my muscles after the 14 mile run yesterday.
Tuesday- 7 mile run down the Water of Leith from Stockbridge to Leith and back with two steep hill runs.
Wednesday- Women's running club- Pyramid session- This involves running for approxiamently 100 metres then walking back to the start then 200 metres then walk back then 400 metres and repeating 3 times.
Thursday- I went to Morning Yoga at Union Yoga. My muscles felt really tight so it was good to stretch. I felt my knee twinging later on which may have been from the sprints last night or over stretching.
Friday-7 mile run to Leith and back to Stockbridge.
Saturday- Day off. I was going to go to Parkrun but my knee ached so I thought it was best to take a day off.
Sunday- 15 mile run with EAC starting at Craiglockhart sports centre. Today's route took us to the Pentland Hills which I had not yet visited. It was lovely to see the resevoir and hills and run through woods and different terrains, especially muddy, woody paths. This run felt a lot easier compared to last week as I was running with a group.
