there you go, BP - Prufrock recommends prayer for your ailment!

[Prufrock]

To be strictly accurate, I recommend it as much as I recommend acupuncture!

to be strictly accurate - you recommended it rather than accumpuncture because it doesn't usually involve stabbing!

Well. It might save my sole!

Or your SOLE-eus!

Anyway, back to topic.....

BP
Where you describe your pain sounds more like the Soleus muscle rather than PF. I thought PF was more heel and sole of the foot but I'm not an expert.

Was it aphysio who diagnosed it? You may benefit more from a deep tissue massage or acupuncture.

I was a bit puzzled by the PF diagnosis tbh, having read the info that the Doc gave to me. I assumed that it was the lack of support on my arches causing strain higher up??

The Bursitis diagnosis came from the woman who performed the scan at my local GP surgery. She also said that I have fluid under my heels. I was told about the PF by my own GP.

I'll see what the Podiatrist says and take it form there.

Okay BP. Good luck.

Good luck to Bruce and those other lucky buggers running the Park Run this morning. Cruella's a hard mistress but we keep going back.

Great to see you this morning, mate, a real pleasant surprise (and BP & LE). Many thanks for your support and advice. Like having to run up Cruella twice wasn't difficult enough without the introduction of an additional hill. Sheesh.

Good to meet GtE this morning. Had a good chat. Can't be easy approaching a stranger and asking if they're BP from the internet!

353rd time lucky. Good to meet you too (although I vaguely recognise you so I suspect we have met and forgotten).

Anyway well done Bruce. I've sent some pictures to you. You can decide whether to post the 'top of Cruella' pic or the 'winning line elation' one.

Just the ones who aren't out on loan.

Cheers, mate. The top of Cruella shot looks as painful as it felt.

Thankfully you weren't around when I was overtaken by a pram-pushing mum.

I had something similar at this years pike race, Bruce. There I was ploughing my way uphill, totally wrecked and some bloke in an inflatable sumo suit overtook me

Well in yesterday, by the way. The hard work is starting to pay off

[LeverEnd]

Well done Bruce, looked quite serene as you came in. Next week?

And Harry, I'd forgotten about sumo man, haha!

[Bruce Rioja]

Cheers chaps. Yes, LE, good call. Am going to try and get it in regularly now. The usual pre-run prep for me at the Wanderers are on telly on Friday night and I won't be watching it at home.

[LeverEnd]

Nice one. My aim to be beat my Bolton parkrun best and then go on a mini tour of N West parkruns. My mate Leon has done 86 parkruns at 85 different venues. I won't be looking to rival him though.

[Hoboh]

Just a passing thought, can this thread not be sticked? its getting compulsive reading.
(sorry guys I'll butt out here)

I think you come along to parkrun Hoboh, if we don't hold your attention I can assure you there are plenty who will.
