Welcome back legs

So after last weekends set back with my back and hamstring I have spent most of the week on the physio bed getting myself fixed through enormous amounts of pain and the other times laid on my back with my feet in the air!!!!

I have to say my physio has done a fab job and I now finally have my legs back.

I was told by my physio that I have to test my back and hamstring out so on Friday I warmed up extra long did my sprint drills and managed to stride, he even told me to try some bounding so I did and managed so do a Pb in the distance between the hurdles ;-) so today I went to training and put my spikes on and hit the speed and it felt good and touch wood no aches or pains felt at all.

I'm now into my speed element of training in prep to the UK Trials next month so everything is about 100% effort with good recovery, plus a lot of block work after my weights sessions, however I need to make sure my back is 100% before I lift again and I am hoping that I will be able to do that on Monday,s session. So next week will be a hard speed week for me as I prepare to go into my next run of competitions. I have been fortunate enough to be selected to run for England Indoors in Vienna and Linz on the 1st and 3rd of February which I am really looking forward too and fingers crossed I can perform better than last weekend and without any niggles setting in. So this week i shall again be spending a lot of time on the physio bed as I don't want to go backwards and with the UK Trials only a few weeks away I cant risk anything!!

I cant believe that this time next week I shall be celebrating my birthday, I would like to say I am going to be 21 again but then that would be lying. I am going to be 31 and I plan to spend my birthday training, however I do plan to have a night out with loved ones and paint the town red hahaha. Mia keeps asking me if she is invited to my party?! trying to tell a three year old your not having one has not sunk in yet i wish I was three again........
