A happy run

[Gthants]

After a few weeks of (probable) Covid sapping my energy, and then a hip niggle limiting my movement, today felt like my first "proper" run for a while; I ran 36 minutes five days ago, but that was a struggle. Today was 52 minutes and, if not easy or outright enjoyable, gave me my first runner's high for a while.

I had a Thai massage on Friday which hurt a fair bit, but it's taken the edge off weeks and weeks of pain and allowed me to move with more freedom. I did pre and post run exercises, but I am sore because I pushed it just a bit, so I know I'll need to do more stretching later. But I feel good!

Happy running everyone - have some flowers from my garden!

Thank you! It's great to have a really good run now and again! The high has got me writing for the first time in a week!
