10km Run thwarted!

I am sad to report that injury has dealt a blow to my fund-raising efforts after I had to pull out of the Asics London 10km run. I have developed pains in my right ankle after increasing my distance up to 7km. Despite purchasing new trainers, it has now become painful to put pressure on my right ankle. I went to see the physiotherapist in Haslemere who was most amused with my "hyper mobile" ankle. It seems that my right foot is flat causing me to pronate the foot as I walk/run and further twisting my toes in the opposite direction. This has over time set up a weakness in my ankle and put pressure on my knee and hip. My right hip isslightly lower than my left and my left leg muscles have less range of movement due to over-compensation for the weakness in the right. So its orthotic inserts for me at a whopping cost of £300! However that doesn't solve the problem in ankle, and running is out for now :-( I will however be running a 10km race at some point in the future. Running has become a complete joy for me, especially through the woods here at Haslemere onto Gibbet Hill. Watch this space....
