Hello everyone!

Done my run tonight after not running for 5 days. It felt absolutely brilliant till the last 3 min run. The pain in my ankles and my knees 😫 I still managed to carry on and run through the pain.

I suffer with psoriatic arthritis, I’m not going to leave such a big gap to the next run. I blame the white stuff ❄️ 😊

My knee has started to hurt this week. I’ve bought a knee support as recommended, and have used it as an excuse to buy new pricey running trainers πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ½

πŸ˜‚ I brought expensive trainers, I found they hurt even more so have gone back to my bargain shoes πŸ‘ which are way more comfortable 😊
