First run for 12 days- since my back started sulking. I have been working really hard with the rehab exercises and wanted to see how it felt. I took it a bit gingerly to begin with and it felt harder than my last run...in fact I felt like I had regressed several weeks. The back was fine however...Hallelujah and Swing Low Sweet Chariot.
I chugged on and did 5k. Not quick and not pretty at a smidgeon under 37 mins/7.2mins per Km. But, most importantly, not painful around the old lumbar region. That'll do.
