the wrack is back on track

“A small inflammation of the bursa,” the specialist said. “I have a little injection for that.” One minute later I felt the needle penetrate my heel. A small amount of infection fighting liquid flowed into me. If it wasn’t needed physically, it does help rebuild my confidence in a responsible physical condition at the start of Rotterdam marathon. I’m very glad that the infection is not in my Achilles tendon itself. With a loosened ankle (physiotherapist), a modified heel cap (podologist), some gel to treat the trouble spot (doctor) and an injection (specialist) I feel like a weak wrack, which wasn’t exactly designed for reliability, but nevertheless, I consider myself back in the race! Now let’s get back on track, too. In the evening I explored the course of the 10km race of the City-Pier-City half-marathon event in Den Haag this Saturday. It's good last test and speed work-out for the marathon. Besides, I just cannot miss this top event, which is practically in my own back yard.
