Lucky you and well done...:)

A beautiful morning here and prime for a run... sadly I am still on the IC, so a walk in a moment or two:)

I envy your run this morning... it sounds perfect:)

It was nice bit of a headwind but cooling at the same time. I assume that your calf muscle injury is still not right if you are still on the couch

Sounds great!

No.. still a bit weird... I am rolling and gentle stretches, but I think a visit to the Physio is on the cards.. :( But..it will sort :)
