Hello from the prodigal runner...

Well, running folk, I've been on precisely 3 runs in the past 2 months. I started with nasty pain in the arch of my foot that just isn't going away. So I've been trying to rest, even though that doesn't seem to be helping.

So, obviously, the best thing to do this morning was to get up and run the Wilmslow Festive 10k, completely unprepared and on a dodgy foot.

But that's exactly what I did and...

...

...

...well, it was OK, actually. Not free of discomfort but nothing is any worse than when I started.

And I was only 90 seconds or so above my PB (came in just above 1:01).

So, perhaps, maybe, with the wind behind me... I'll be able to start running again! :)

Happy Sunday everyone.

That’s amazing! Well done!

I’ve recently read that shoes with a higher drop are good for people with foot issues πŸ€”

Well done! I looked out for you but I was a couple of pacemakers back. Just left Richmond Tea Rooms. I haven't run for over 2 weeks and am feeling it.

Well done Sharuns. I bet you felt you earned that tea. As did I at The Plaza - I didn't know they would be giving us tea and sandwiches:)

I knew you would sneak off and run :)

I found out because I looked up the time for Sharuns then I thought "I wonder......." Sure enough I saw your name as well. Well done. You can come back for some parkrun mud now :)

Great result, well done, and you're looking super slim in that photo Pianism. Have you tried rolling your foot on a frozen bottle of water? Wear socks!

We’ve missed you pianism! It sounds like you’ve been charging your batteries. Well done. Was the 10k near the parkrun in Wilmslow?

Not what you're looking for?
