An App free run

Just did a couple of laps on the grass in the park, ran for about 15 mins probably, just with some music and no Laura or MapmyRun. Very liberating! Legs felt ooookaaaaay too. So relieved. That's about seven weeks for the shinsplints to be sufficiently healed to allow me to run again. The weight loss has helped too, it definitely feels easier and I feel lighter on my feet.

I will make friends with Laura again next week! I haven't spoken to her for ages but she'll understand I'm sure. And I promise, I will listen to her and do what she says this time! :-)

I've kind of still got one cheek on it, but my backside has shrunk a bit so there's probably room for a little'un! Hope whatever is keeping you on the IC resolves soon.

Great to hear your shins have recovered at last. It's been a long wait for you but sounds like you're more than ready to get out there again. Have fun and enjoy!!

Thanks AM, I tend to be rather more careful this time! How's your broken bits? :-(

Careful is good :) Broken toe seems to be mended now, although a bit of a weird shape (much fatter in the middle than it used to be) Ankle still swollen but mending slowly. Hopefully seeing Lovely James the physio next week. :)
