She's off the IC!

After a week of resting my knee, I'm sure this was due to a steep downhill run, I tested it for a 5k this morning.

Even a week off makes a difference to fitness and ability but it felt great to be out again and first time in my graduate couch to5k top 😁😁.

My knee felt just on the right side of pain and I ran some of it on grass which the knee definitely approved of! I'll see what the physio says tomorrow and try to progress to 6k next week.

Never thought I would miss running so much!

Happy running to all πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

So glad you were able to run virtually pain free today! You did the right thing taking a break! πŸ‘πŸ»

I like running on grass too - but not if it’s too long because my snail feet get slowed down, which they really can’t afford to do!! 🐌🐌

Thanks mountaindreamer, I expect I'll be told to do squats πŸ˜–

Just praying I'm not told to stop running completely.
