Ooh I'm ecstatic to be back out there running again:)

Saw physio thismorning and after a great session and assessment she saw no reason for me not to go out and try a slow run :) gosh couldn't get home quick enough to get my trainers on :)

Took it slow..knee felt fine.. and couldn't belive it when I managed 20 min run.. just 2k.. but that was wonderful :) so will start back from week 5 run 3 and with any luck knee will be stronger this time with the strengthening excercise plan I got.. I'm back! I'm back :) I'm back :) feel so happy!!! Thanks everyone for your ongoing support and patience with me while I moaned on the IC

Race for life...here I come! :)

Woo Hoo ! Fab news Sparky ! Just what you want to hear on a Monday morning !

I had visions of you hot footing it home after your physio visit and tearing your front door off its hinges to get to your runners ! Ha ha :-D

So happy for you , you have been so patient and very supportive of others even though you have been confined to the IC and not able to get out yourself .

Now go tear those miles up ! Well not literally,but you know what I mean ! :-)

Happy Running ! :-) xxx
