Here we go again, groundhog day, almost exactly a year to the date last time: ๐ซค
Jog Belfast, week 1, session 1 R1 / W1 x 8 My blistered chilblains were agony, but they are when I'm walking too.
A short walk prior to the dreaded Jog Belfast. ๐ซค
[I only signed up for Jog Belfast because E didn't want to go on her own, but at lunch today she said: "You're going to hate me but...". She's decided to wait until September to start. ๐ซค I wouldn't have joined if it hadn't been for her wanting the company, but I've paid for the course so I'm going to give it a go. In a way it takes the pressure off me - I won't be letting her down if my blistered toes can't hack it or if it doesn't reignite my running mojo and I decide to bail.]
Pilates class. Very hard today.
Pre breakfast walk as E wants to meet for lunch so I can't go after pilates. Cold and breezy again.
|
A walk after a day's driving. My toes are shredded with blistered chilblains so enjoyable it was not. No amount of mind over matter could distract from the pain. A depressing day, every which way. ๐ข
|
A nice walk marred by very painful toes.
To/from Caffรจ Nero to meet J.
A painful pre-breakfast walk on shredded toes.
|
Jog Belfast, week 1, day 2:
R1 / W1 x 8 I couldn't enjoy it, my blistered toes were agony. ๐
Pilates class.
A pre-breakfast walk in the cold and drizzle. My blistered, swollen toes were so painful I felt physically sick. ๐
|
A short excruciatingly painful walk on very blistered toes after spending the day with dad.
|
To/from R's house to drop off the knee compression support I'm lending her. My blistered toes were too sore to want to extend the route any further.
Pilates class.
To/from parkrun to marshal. Cold and wet, including hailstones.
Coffee afterwards with the team. |
My chilblains and blisters were far too sore to contemplate incorporating my Jog Belfast homework so I don't think I'll be able to continue with the programme. ๐
To/from Junior parkrun, plus course check and tailwalker. My blistered toes were really painful from the word go.

Pouring rain and bitterly cold, which did nothing to help my blistered feet.
I couldn't sleep last night, my toes were so raw and painful, to the point of bleeding, but I've managed to get a doctor's appointment for later so I'm pinning my hopes on a miracle. I emailed G and backed out of Jog Belfast. Walking is painful enough, running is unthinkable. [Dr update: the worst case of chilblains he has seen in his 30 years as a GP - not an accolade I want. There's some indication of infection in two or three toes, so a course of Flucloxacillin for that; a course of Nifedipine to help with my very poor circulation; and a series of blood tests tomorrow morning to rule out any issues with cholesterol and blood pressure, or conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.]
Pilates class.
|
Horribly wet, horribly painful.
Wet, wet, wet. Feeling nauseous and lightheaded from the Flucloxicillin and Nifedipine, and weak from the phobia of having bloods taken this morning. ๐คข Toes very painful. ๐
|
A lovely day for a walk, but not with shredded toes. ๐
The joys of a Flucloxicillin/Nfedipine combo - nausea, stomach ache, hot flushes, dizziness, headache. And all for no improvement in my blistered toes. ๐
|
Aborted walk. My blistered toes were too painful to continue. ๐ข
Pilates class.
|
Blistered chilblains too sore to go any further, but in any case the Flucloxicillan is making me really queasy and the Nfedipine is making me really woozy, lightheaded and weak; it can lower blood pressure, and mine was low to start with.
The drowsiness means I can't risk the long drive to see dad, ๐ข and the 8 mile marathon walk on Sunday is looking increasingly impossible. ๐ |
To/from the green grocer.
There's no way my raw, blistered toes are going to get round 8 miles tomorrow, this short walk was painful enough, so I've kissed goodbye to my ยฃ40. ๐ Plus the Nfedipine is making me feel really lightheaded and woozy.
Pilates class.
(Online pre-record purchase as the studio is closed for BH weekend.)
To/from parkrun to marshal.
Coffee afterwards with the team. |
To/from A's house to hear all about her marathon.
It was a walk too far for my blistered toes. Back to resting them tomorrow. ๐
Spectating at the marathon with R. Unfortunately patience and concentration aren't R's strong points so I was busy trying to convince her to โstay for 5 more minutes" even before the race started. Consequently, when V'Rap went past I almost missed her, only just managing a fleeting glimpse as she glided into the distance.
So glad I didn't attempt the walk - my toes would never have survived, they're really painful now. |

Just far enough to get some fresh air. I'm not sure which is worse today, the pain from my shredded toes, or the side effects of the medication.
Pilates class.
(Pre-recorded online class as the studio is closed for BH weekend.) |
Pilates class.
(Another one from the pre-recorded bundle I purchased.)
I needed to stretch my legs and get some fresh air after a day of sitting, but in reality this was too far for my blistered chilblains.
|
A short walk (but quite far enough for my blistered toes) after coffee with V'Rap and elBee!
|
I think today's tough pilates class was too much sfter yesterday's physio; my sciatic nerve and left glute are both really sore now, to add to my blistered toes, so 10k was far enough.
Pilates class.
|
Evening walk with M after a long day with dad.
Just when I thought I'd seen the last of it, yesterday's pilates class has set off my sciatic nerve again, it's so painful today - not helped by a day of driving and sitting. Shoot me now. |
Sore sciatic nerve; sore glute; sore toes, but it was too nice for indoors obsessing about all the many jobs that need done around the house. ๐ซค It was hotter than a furnace outdoors.
To/from parkrun to marshal.
Coffee afterwards with the team. |
I'm feeling really exhausted this afternoon - lack of sleep, the heat, effects of the medication - but this is the last day of decent weather, back to rain tomorrow, so I felt I should at least get out for a short walk.
To/from Junior parkrun, plus course check and tailwalker. My poor blistered toes. ๐

Walk back from leaving car into bodywork garage to have the dent repaired that some cretin inflicted on it in a car park. To say the rain was torrential is an understatement. My shoes were so waterlogged my blisters will have blisters, and I was so cold my teeth were chattering. I was soaked through four layers to my skin.
Back to wet, cold and breezy. Soaked.
Pilates class.
|
To/from library. Warm and sunny outside now. ๐ฎ
The rain temporarily stopped for long enough to enable me to walk to and from the fruit & veg shop without getting soaked again.
To/from physio. Drenched and frozen - again.
|
Really warm. I could have done with capris instead of tights. ๐ฎ
Pilates class.
Walk to garage to collect car. Sunny and warm.
|
Much cooler now.
Pre a late lunch walk. Very warm.
Pilates class.
To/from car park.
|
A short walk with M after a long day with dad and the oldies.
|
Unlike this morning, when I was frozen, it was really hot this afternoon. My blistered toes were agony. ๐
To/from parkrun to marshal.
Coffee afterwards with the team. |
To/from Junior parkrun, plus course check and tailwalker.
Coffee afterwards with M, A and S. |
