Second attempt!

Success!!

Just like you all said it would be.

Took all your advice.....I calmed down, went slow, turned back at times to stay on good ground. And smashed it. And I feel so good now. 👍🏼

[antonioa Graduate]

Nice one. You needed that!! Now keep riding that confidence boost

[Jude1963 Graduate in reply to antonioa]

Thankyou for your support!

How is your Achilles feeling now? Any improvement?

[antonioa Graduate in reply to Jude1963]

Slow but sure. Still aches if I walk too much. The exercise regime I've been given is more exhausting than the running! The exercises are designed to progressively strengthen the tendon. I'm aiming for a return at the end of April as that will get holidays out of the way. Looking forward to restarting!! I hope you're enjoying your break

[Jude1963 Graduate in reply to antonioa]

Yes and hopefully the weather will be better for you too. I’m getting so used to the cold that I’m not sure I’ll cope in the warmer months!

Back to icy England Sunday night and back to work Monday morning. Shouldn’t complain. I’ve had a good break and managed to fit 3 runs in. 👍🏼

[antonioa Graduate in reply to Jude1963]

You'll be coming back to "the beast from the east" but at least you'll be used to the cold!!

[Jude1963 Graduate in reply to antonioa]

Haha! Yes, I’ve heard! It’s actually warmer here in Ålesund than at home apparently!

[Kizzy52 Graduate]

Well done Jude1963 , knew you would do it 😊

[Jude1963 Graduate in reply to Kizzy52]

Thanks. It wasn’t easy but very different to my last run which was just awful right from the start. 🙈

Well done slow and steady means success!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

[Jocomoso Graduate]

ah that's great news, you are just one run ahead of me - I have my wk 7 run 3 tomorrow.... am still sore from yesterday's so hoping an early night and a quiet morning will get me ready for the 25 mins of puffing and panting! my husband may come with me who has had the flu which is good (!?!) as he can usually run 10 k without breaking into a sweat, so we should be on level ground so to speak!

[Jude1963 Graduate in reply to Jocomoso]

Haha! Any excuse to keep him in his place! Good luck tomorrow. Don’t have expectations, just calm and cool determination to do your best.
