The waiting game.

And I'm still doing nothing.  The injuries of 2 weeks ago are not shifting and although my back is 90% better I'm still not allowed to run or do gym works.  2 key ingredients for the Transalpine training I'd say.  More problematic however, is my foot.  It got a bit better, then a bit worse and is stayed like that for what feels like ages.  I finally had enough of giving it a few more days to settle down as the have turned into weeks, so I'm off to see a specialist today to hopefully get a diagnosis.  It may seem obvious that I have a sore foot but the control freak in me needs to know what kind of sore it is.  Is anything torn?  Could anything tear?  Is it in my imagination?  When can I run again?  I cant do anything without this information and I feel pretty helpless and more than a little frustrated.  4 and a half weeks to go and I've done zilch-o for 3 and a half.  I need to know, hear it from a specialist, when, and indeed if, I can start training again, and the million dollar question, can I run 350km in 4 weeks time?  I'd like to think that if I get the green light now I can just about do it.  But I think I know deep down that running on any kind of pain is not a clever idea and that is most likely what I'll hear today.  So, lets wait and see.....
