Last weekend on a strong recommendation I went to see a man called Jambo Truong, as I was worrying about my hips and the pain I was getting and this was from running only 6 miles. Jambo is a 'Multi-disciplinary practitioner that specialises in musculo-skeletal alignment and preventative medicine'. All I can say is WOW! My first consultation was 90mins, in which I spent most of my time lying on his medical bed, raising an arm and then a leg and then an arm and leg together etc, and seeing how much force I could apply. Then where needed he corrected my alignment, please don't ask me how he does this. He also did a couple of acupuncture points. Honestly, straight afterwards I really didn't feel any different regarding my body. But this week I have felt so much stronger, like there is more power getting through my body. He sent me away with some stretches to do, normally not very good at doing these, but I am now making the time as well as continuing my door hanging regime. I am really looking forward to my next appointment.
Also this week I have had a swimming lesson with Calum who is the head coach of Aquajets. Its another WOW. What a difference a lesson can make, its unbelivable. To get all technical, I now feel like I am actually catching the water and pulling myself through it, I really don't know what I was doing before but I feel so much smoother in the water now. 2.4 miles, easy, bring it on!
The rest of my week has just been MANIC!!!
Work has been busy, but it has been the youngest member of the family that I think has turned into the Tasmanian Devil, she is exhausting. As well as being her usual busy self, she has taken to getting changed up to 5 times a day. Every time she disappears she appears in something else, it's driving me up the wall. She truly excelled herself Wednesday night. The telly was banned so off she went upstairs, to appear again in some strange assembly of clothes, however upon my arrival to her bedroom I was greeted with this.
When I ask her why? Her response is; 'I wanted to'.
My only worry is, if this is what she is like now, what is she going to be like when she's 16? The term Wild springs to mind!
Finally I did a long run this weekend, well 10 miles, so long by my standards. It felt great, got up early and just took off. I am still not the quickest of runners, but I actually enjoyed it this time, which is a first. Will I enjoy it after cycling 112 miles and swimming 2.4 miles? Probably not!!!
