Around the corner (well and down the road) to teh witch doctor this morning. He is very handy and also is available early in the morning which makes it easier to fit into the schedule.
A quick chat about my calves seemingly now made from concrete and also my suspicion about my pelvis being out of alignment. A quick prod and poke and he agreed and went to work. A few pins in the lower left back to release some of the tigh muscles there and then he went to work on the calves. Fair dinkum, it felt like he was jamming knitting needles in instead of accupuncture pins. He agreed that they were "very" tight.
After a pleasant half an hour lying there with pins inserted he came back and then gave the lower back/pelvic area a good readjustment and then also wanted to have a go at the mid back area, just below the shoulder blades. Wow, there was some tension build up there.
Now the calves are tight from the treatment but that wears off, the left hammie feels perfect and he reckons I'm ready to roll!
Thanks for the opinions on the Striders 10km race guys, I have to admit I'm leaning towards going for it. As someone else has mentioned to me, if you are doing some speedwork in the taper the chances of hurting something is just as great as doing the 10km race. Lets see how the week and training unfolds.
