Well today went for my first run since last weeks race for life(really a sponsored consolidation run but whats a little detail like that?)

I hadnt run because i had a swollen knee no pain just swelling. Its been hard not going out but figured it was for the best

I managed a 6k run according to my fitbit but have had strava drama. Technology isnt my strong point so my husband has just bought me a garmin vivoactive 4s as a well done for running/happy birthday gift hopefully to prevent more strava issues

Just got to figure it out now🤣

Luckily no knee swelling or pain.

Hope to increase my distance on one long slow run each week

Lets see where this running lark takes me😁

Nice comeback running... and what a great pressie! You can set Garmin connect to sync to Strava so you won’t need to launch either app at run time. Enjoy.
