Back after 2 and half weeks on the IC.

Hurt my ankle after W6R2 - tendonitis apparently. Well 2 1/2 weeks later and swelling stopped so decided to brave a run this morning. Didnt know where to start again so set off on W6R3 and managed to run for 20 minutes, not quite the 25 and walked the rest of the way. The ankle seems fine. I'm really amazed as 3 months ago I couldn't run for 90 seconds. Packed my running gear to take away with me so hopefully will manage to run again before next weekend. Not sure whether to repeat w6 runs 1 and 2. But it's great to be running again.
