Thanks for advice...extra rest day paid off

Took an extra rest day and ran today. Calves allowed me to complete a comfortable 7k and a good pace. So, many thanks for advice given here which I heeded and clearly benefitted from. Much appreciated it as perhaps without it I could have been tempted to give it a go yesterday and highly likely have paid for it by collecting another injury. Happy day. Furthest run so far. Who’d ever have thought I could do it!

Well done. 7km is a fine distance. How wise to listen to your body 👍

Awesome! Just what the body needed. It is hard to listen to the body when the mind is saying "C'mon! Let's go!" but it paid off in spades.
