Finally got off the couch and went for a run

After 2 weeks off with a swollen ankle, resting and eating ice-cream I finally decided it felt (almost) well enough to test it and went for a run yesterday.

5km done, ankle no worse than before the run. Slow though. Got lightly rained on but got back before the heavy rain.

I have arranged to run from mine to a friend's house which I reckon is about 5km in time for dinner. She says I can stay for dinner despite the fact I'll be sweaty and horrible. That will motivate me!

That's nice of her! Unless she makes you sit in the garden? 😊

Well done for the run - how's the ankle today?

Ankle is lumpy but a lot less painful thank you. Run was 4km and dinner was lovely. Nice to be back out there 😀
