Well, after a 11day lay off due to a non-running injury, I set off this morning to see how far I could run before it became uncomfortable.

I did a short steady 4.7k run on Weds to test the waters and all seemed OK but just before I reached the 8k mark this morning, I started feeling some discomfort from the injured shin. Err on the side of caution was the way to go!

Pleased to be back out there though ๐Ÿค—

Happy running all ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Hi Ted, saw your run..Well done.

Bit more ice and elevation?

Maybe short runs for a week or so while it mends properly?๐Ÿ˜Šxx

Thanks Jan ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™m icing when I can, the swelling has almost gone but tender around the bone at the impact area.

Iโ€™ll be out to do a shortish run on Monday , may even do intervals to see how it stands up ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ

Thanks Chris, Iโ€™d be lying if I said it was easy....surprising how you lose it even after 11days. Have to keep at it at my age....a case of use it or lose it! ๐Ÿค—
