So, the broken foot is healing – well, there’s no proof as such, but I FEEL like it’s healing and that’s good enough for me!  I’m off for a check up x ray a week today, and taking every herbal concoction you can think of – I have a tablet that includes calcium, magnesium, vit D, horsetail and other great bone building ingredients!  Kim, from our wonderful coffee shop Freshies, is also making me a potion including horsetail and comfrey – apparently very good for healing bones too – I’ll give it all a go – can’t do any harm!

Anyhow, in the meantime, I’m off the bike and off running (obviously!) – so it’s swim, swim and swim again!  To make sure I don’t go and injure my shoulders or anything silly like that (!) I’m not going crazy, but swimming enough to keep the fitness up.  I’m hoping I’ll be water running by the end of next week and just maybe also turbo biking too – we’ll see!  I have a check up with my own doc next Tuesday – someone I totally trust – so it’ll be good to talk through the options.

As if by magic though, today, my Worlds race kit arrived in the post – the kit consists of: my race suit itself, a cycling top, a pair of tracksuit bottoms, a tracksuit top, a pair of socks and a pair of cycling arm warmers.  I think my race suit says it all though – have a look at the photo below – Liversidge CAN – I’m taking that as a sign – who can heal the bone – Liversidge CAN – made me smile !!
