“You must have a long-range vision to keep you from
being frustrated by short-range failures”
Charles Noble
This week I had high hopes of pushing hard but early in the week I started experiencing a sore right foot, not sure what had set it off. It could have been a small strain from overstretching it, something quite likely the way I often lose my footing or miss my step somewhere. It started off around the 5th metatarsal which is a common site for stress fractures and my biggest fear. Anything else I can deal with, rest I cannot!
So a couple of days rest was the order of the day and then with the rugby world cup final I decided that a few days recovery wasn’t a bad thing. I managed 26 days in a row so I was happy with that.
And the brilliant Springbok victory was extemely inspiring. It shows the value of long-term vision and what can be achieved when you believe in a wonderful cause/country.
