Back after illness. Reran week 6 day 1

Good morning and congratulations to those of you who have graduated since my last post. Well done!! <3

My last run was the first run of week seven and from what I can remember it didn't go very well. Unfortunately later in the week I had a bout of extreme vertigo which knocked me off my feet for a few days. I slowly recovered but was still having minor dizzy spells so felt it unwise to run. I am due at to see my rheumatologist this week so thought that I'd wait until I'd seen them.

This morning was so crisp and I've missed running so much and my son was going into work early so I hitched a ride off him and my little dog ran home.

It was another glorious, star studded, fresh morning with very little traffic.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it but apart from a little weakness towards the end it was fine.

I shall continue with week 6 and continue the programme.

Happy running xXx
