Well it didn't go well today. Managed to roll my foot and twist my knee a bit. Shin pains like I've never had before. I didn't manage to complete today's run so all being well I'm gonna try it again on Saturday and do run 3 next week I think.

I'm sat here with frozen chicken on my leg for instead of peas fingers crossed for a speedy recovery

Oh goodness, that's no good! I hope the chicken helps. Rest well and the next run will be great.

Oh no! How frustrating. I was thinking about you when I was struggling through the last five minutes of the same run this evening (currently still sitting here with ice on my knee - only preventative hopefully, chicken still in the fridge but I know there will be shouts of 'where's dinner any time soon).

Good luck. Rest well and hope the next run is much more fun.

It's all feeling better now. So I'm hoping an easy day tomorrow and then try again Saturday evening. I don't seem to have much luck with early runs.

No luck maybe, but lots of determination by the sound of it. Much more reliable than luck any time of the day 😀
