Good news after IC - oh yes !

[61Lady]

So after my many moans and groans a couple of weeks ago 🙄 and, by the way, thanks for all your encouraging words and advice, 🥰 I went out all guns blazing ... big mistake and did my knee in😟 can’t tell you how annoyed, disappointed angry etc.etc. I was 😖 but then tried to be grown up about it all.

Time to count my blessings 🙏 I’m reasonably healthy (long may that remain) and I’m employed - in the arts, so super lucky these days 👍

Good news is that you live and learn so I had a mini break from running for a few days and did some Tai Chi .... it really gave me time to focus 🧐

Although I much prefer running outdoors, I went on the treadmill today because I was a bit nervous in case my knee played up.

I did a varied 60mins which I’m thrilled about - varied because I switched between speedier and flat, to slower with incline ie. some jogging and some speed walking definitely not overdoing at all because I only did a little over 6k I a hour 🏃‍♀️💪🏃‍♀️

I’m a very happy bunny because I think I’m on my way back - fingers crossed 🤞Still not got to 10k but know I will sometime soon 💪🏃‍♀️💪

Thanks VRB’s couldn’t do it without you ❤️

Fabulous news! Yes, we runner’s are impatient IC dwellers aren’t we? So well done for keeping your cool this time around on the IC and taking it slow on the return run!

I’m intrigued by tai chi. Do you practice that through videos?

Good to know you are back and not pushing yourself too hard

Thank you both - not sure why I was in a mad dash hurry 🤔This time last year I couldn’t run for a minute straight 🤣Need to remind myself how far I’ve come in 8 months 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Good news 61Lady, glad you had such a good try out run.😊Take it gently outside too remember cadence, kerbs, hills are all in the mix.🏃‍♀️🎄xxx

Thank you - good point and also it’s been pretty wet and very windy so indoor option is probably best for me for the time being - just while I get my confidence back.
