The road to recovery

I finally have a reliable diagnosis. Matt (a kiwi physio working at the Blackberry clinic in MK) identified my problem as a damaged Tibialis Posterior Tendon. This is being treated by a change of shoes (I'm back with Asics now) and a series of exercises designed to sterengthen the tendon. I am also going to go back for a couple of sessions of physio to break up the scar tissue.

I am now back to running a couple of times per week and I'm spending lots of time on the bike. Everything is looking good for a full recovery and I'm aiming for the Reims marathon in October.
