curse of the gout

Woke up this morning with an ache in my toe and a feeling it was a return of gout. Had a really nice session at a gym,pre arranged free of charge "trial" the highlight was a brilliant bike work out racing around a dirt track compter generated. Sitting here now with a pain in my foot, its back and I am dreading tonight's kip.

feeling down

Currently sat at home on the sofa feeling a bit sorry for myself. I have not trained since Sunday the 14th due to gout. I am in my 7th day of this condition and they usually last between 3-10 days. Worried that a large chunk of the training programme has been missed and I am going to have to settle for just getting round and look for a sub 2 hours on the next run. March the 6th 10k is in doubt also.
