Still working on the recovery plan and hoping to get fully off the IC. Doing a walk-stretch-joggette-stretch routine on steady repeat at the moment, and gently, gently increasing the time (but not the slo-mo pace) of the jog bit. Working so far, but Other Half is holding his breath for success as I have not been lovely to live with on a no running diet. ☹️

Consolation is reading other people’s fun posts and the fact that at least walking is now almost back to my normal stride. Gardening has a lot to answer for around here!

Enjoy your runs, lucky people. I’ll be back. 🤪

Keep the faith granspeed. It takes time but you will run again 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🙂

I nearly got carried away yesterday again in the garden but caught myself in time and had a Pimms ice lolly instead 😋 Delicious and very easy to make.

In the meantime, enjoy your lovely garden 🌾🌺🥀🌻

Thanks. When the sun shines again, I’ll remember the Pimms and think of you! Gives me hope. Got a drizzly sea mist here today, so no gardening temptations just at the moment. (The weeds between the pavers are rejoicing - I can hear them.)

Enjoy being back to the running. 🏃🏼‍♀️💨🎉

Oh my iPad is working again as I can "like" your post and reply.

No gardening for me today either, had to clean the house as we have friends coming for the weekend. But I'll sneak a run in tomorrow before they arrive 🙂

Have a good weekend.

Gardening can take its toll, I did nearly a full days gardening yesterday, got up this morning feeling a bit achy and then did a 4k run, feeling just a bit weary now and feeling my 62 years 🤔 . . . Take it easy, you will be back soon.

Glad to hear recovery plan is bringing some positive results and a jogette is now possible. Soon you’ll be off the IC and having fab runs again. 🙂
