Back out there

After a break of almost two months due to ill health I went back out for a run yesterday. Back in November I had completed Week 8 so I decided to try Week 6 Run 1. I'm pleased to say that I was able to do both five minute runs and the eight minute run. Pretty happy with that.

Oh no, sorry to hear you've had to take a big chunk of time out, but I'm glad you're back in the game again! I'm taking over from you and keeping the injury couch warm...again.

Oh no Ali! What have you done?

Either pulled my Achilles or got tendonitis in it again. I'm blaming my lovely pink shoes that Santa brought me as all was fine before I started wearing them. Got graduation out of the way after my GP said I was ok to run but to stop if it hurt, but it's making me favour my good leg and probably adopt a strange posture to take the pressure off it so I've confined myself to barracks for a week or so.

That's great well done. You'll soon be back to where you were. Hopefully injury free this time.

Welcome back Daisy. That's a really great run considering the length of your absence.

Thanks everyone. Yeah I'm pleased I was able to do the runs without stopping. Will do W6R2 on Tuesday.
