On my way back ... maybe ... I hope ? 🤞

Having spent some time on and off the IC in the last few months I’ve got more than a bit fed up 😕

I’ve tried very hard to heed all advice and be ultra careful about my joints but quite frankly the knee and ankle straps are really getting on my nerves 🙄 apart from looking like Max Wall, I feel so restricted.

Today I decided to throw caution to the wind. I did 3k on the treadmill with no joint strapping at all - daring, and some may say risky, I know, but I really couldn’t feel any worse jogging so why not try ?

What a result 💪🏃‍♀️💪

Everything felt right and so far (10 hrs later) no I’ll effects - I wish I’d tried this earlier.. so much more freedom and movement.

I was ultra slow 🐌🐌 (even by my standards) but who cares - I kept going and now I feel great 🥳

So what next for me ? Outdoors I think (weather permitting).

Here’s hoping I’m well on the road to complete recovery - all signs so far are looking good 👍

Happy running everyone 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️and my best wishes are with all those currently on the IC ❤️

Huge well done you... slow and steady will get you where you wish to be. As ever, try gentle runs and listen to your body... it will tell you what is right for you
