Bruised...

Had to stop 20 min into my run this morning because my right leg was playing up. Really felt like I was getting a tear in my muscle so decided to see a physio asap. Went to the London Marathon website's injury clinic page where I found Physio Fit. Got an appointment with a therapist called Adrian Fletcher, really lovely and bubbly but boy was he hard in his sports massage. He kept on asking me questions whilst he was giving me the massage, but it hurt so bad that I could hardly talk.
Asking when I was planning on doing my next run (my answer was tomorrow) he kindly informed me that I'd probably be a bit too soar for that, plus that I should run in the pool until my leg gets better. Oh, and he also told me that I might actually be a bit bruised and yeppery bop, looking in the mirror when I got home there were some nice bruising on the back of my legs. But, my leg feel a bit better so fingers crossed that with the ordered stretching and lots of water (and running in the pool) I'll be as good as new soon. Really gutted that I can't go for a run tomorrow morning though...
