First run after seven weeks.:-)

First run for seven weeks after fall, I have done quite a bit of walking to keep myself active. Was well pleased this morning, put Laura on week 8 and off I went after the five minute warm up walk for the 28 mins run, breathing seemed to fall into a rhythm quite quick and I felt good so after 28mins kept running through the five min warm down walk then walked round the car park to cool down. Jogged 3.6 k in 35 mins. Had to contend with a Doberman who walked alongside me, 2 greyhounds who bounded up to meet him and tailing behind them a white Scottie, why do dog owners think everyone likes them, I was trying to shoo them off with my hands waving about. I was frightened of falling over them. All in all a good run and glad to be back. Pat :-)

It's great that you're back, Pat, and it looks like you haven't lost any stamina through being unable to run for 7 weeks. I hope your injury is fully mended now?
