End of the Season

I have recently gone into Winter Training mode as I called an end to my season after the Olympic Trials and have been busy in the weights room under new guidance, getting alot stronger and working on correcting weaknesses in my body. Also I have been putting the winter over distance work in on the track too and I never thought that I would say it but I have secretly enjoyed every minute of it and the challenge!!

This Saturday is the last fixture of the Southern League for my club and its a home fixture too so I thought it would be rude of me to not compete. I always enjoy competing for my club as this is my grass roots and where I started out and where I belong. So I have decided to taper the training down this week so I can do a bit of multi eventing on Saturday and have a bit of fun in my last comp of the outdoor season. A bit of running, jumping and throwing all in the name of points for the club, then back to the Winter graft!!!


As some of you may know I had surgery last year to have a ulna shortening done in my right wrist and next month I will again be undergoing more surgery to have my plates and pins removed as they cause me some discomfort due to where they are located. There is also a possibility that the bone has not formed correctly as in a previous xray on my wrist it showed a bit of bone that had not reformed properly so depending what the prognosis is when my surgeon goes in I could have to have a bone graft done!!!! I have been very unlucky when it comes to injuries but I will not know how my arm is until I awake from surgery on the 10th of September. As I have always said I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and I am strong enough to comeback whatever the outcome maybe. I have everything crossed that I do not have to have a bone graft done as the recovery is alot longer than I anticipated but what ever it is I will face it head on and deal with it, you can knock me down but you cant keep me down I will come back stronger...........
