What a lovely day for a run

Hi all, not been posting on here for a little while - I'll make it a new year's resolution to post a little more frequently.

Acquired a treadmill earlier this week - mainly so I can keep my hand (or foot) in when the weather gets bad before the welcome sight of spring. However this morning just begged for an outdoor run and I was only too pleased to oblige.

Since my return from IC I've been taking things a little easy and despite graduating have gone back to Week 5 to try and build up some strength in my dodgy knee.

Took things slow and really enjoyed being out in the fresh air. The sun had a little poke in it and the sky was cloudless and a beautiful blue. Completed my run with little pain although I must admit to being a tad out of breath but I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt that huge sense of achievement/euphoria when I returned home.

I'm taking 2 rest days just to be sure I'm giving myself enough time to rest soooo next run scheduled for Sunday - wait that's Xmas Day!! I'm sure that that little inconvenience won't affect my plans - famous last words :-)

I would just like to thank everyone for helping me along these last few months with words of encouragement and sympathy and wish you all a wonderful xmas, a lovely new year and great running in 2017.

Much love xx

Hope your knee holds up but if you are careful I am sure it will do. What is it like running on the treadmill?

Thanks boptillyoudrop49. I've only run once on the treadmill since it arrived on Monday. It's a means to an end really - it serves its purpose but nothing compares to being outside.
