After a fall and then a case of tendonitis in Week 3 originally leaving me unable to walk, then 4 weeks of rest and anti inflammatory drugs... I had to go back to week one.
Well I did my W3R1 this morning with no ill effects.
I almost gave up, it was so disheartening having to go back to the start, I used a cross trainer for a while and thought about just giving up on the running altogether, several people were putting pressure on me to give up so I didn't hurt my knee again. But then a friend of mine Ali posted how she's done her first 5k run and it spurred me on to start again.
Far too proud of myself...now and and up to graduation.

Congratulations for shaking off the gremlins, swallowing your pride and getting back in the stirrups (or rather, in the trainers). I agree with Rob: listen to your body and don't be tempted to push it any harder than it's prepared to take. Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey
