Well got up , saw it was windy & I thought can't go in this wind . But then I saw sun shining , lovely clear blue sky & I thought what's a bit of wind , put my Aldi long sleeve running top on for first time , they are great , & off I went & it was a good run ( after 1st 10 min ) . Ankle not too bad , I've retightened laces in trainers . Bring on wk 2 .
