Bursitis!

Well I've just met the first hurdle in my training so far! For the last few weeks I've had a pain in the back of my leg... Almost directly behind my knee, that only occurs when in the saddle.

After a quick visit to the doctor today, he has diagnosed Bursitis. This is basically when the little fluid filled sacs between muscle and bone become inflamed due to excess fluid, and is likely to take up to 6 weeks to heal!

I have been advised that I should continue training at a reduced intensity until it starts to feel alot better, so I should at least be doing some training still.

On another note, I received the list of packages from the holiday company yesterday, so its all getting a little bit more real now!
