I stay in bed until 9am, text work saying how much pain I am in and that I would work from home today and try and get some physio.

I make an appointment with Stewart my Physiotherapist for 08:30 the next day. I work from home and do feel better.

I make an appointment for the doctors, my briefing has not been right for a while and I am getting worried. The doctor tells me that there is nothing wrong (same old speel)

That evening I text Stuart to tell him to expect me the next morning, I am far too embarrassed to tell him face to face that I have hurt my hip doing hula!

No Pilates 1:1, as Brett has the flu. I am in alot of pain at work, have swollen ankle, my hip hurts when I sit down. My back hurts all the time.

When I get home from work I do an hour of Pilates, I still hurt. Later that evening when I get up off the sofa, my back is killing me – I really have hurt myself.

I do not sleep, I am crying with pain to my back, hip and shoulder. I

For some mad reason, I have signed up for hula hooping classes followed by a Pilates Class, I must be nuts but there again no-one I have spoken to about this has said anything against it.

I leave work just before 17:00 and head to Attic Salt, I feel a bit apprehensive. Hula was great, although the teacher had a fit when I told her that I had received a Total Hip Replacement 6 months ago. Pilates Class was fine.

When I got home, I had a nice spa bath, I was very tired but felt fine.

I decided last night not to repeat yesterday’s walk , it wouldn’t be the right thing to do & once again would be a step too far.

I decided to have a lie in until 11:00am, have a rest, then walk to town to do some food shopping. I would do some Pilates later.

The Edinburgh Moonwalk Organisers have announced the date for the 2009 Event – Saturday 20th June at Midnight, this is the same date as the Parish Walk that takes place in the Isle of Man but am definitely not up to that event!

I enter the Moonwalk Half Marathon, I have 6 Months to train, so should be ok as long as I take it slowly.

My first real training session, one hour from home to the Botanic Gardens, did a lap of the gardens, it was a beautiful day, cold but sunny with blue skies. I did a lap of the Botanic Gardens, then walked home.

I felt ok, could feel some muscles that I hadn’t used for a number of years. I had some lunch and then had a spa bath, then TV and rest.

Hello world!
