Really happy today as I completed my first run since graduation. I had two rest days as I had a really niggly knee on Monday, after running.

Happy to report a 5k at under 35 minutes!! Ok - it was only one second under ie 34.59 - but pain free and really happy that it was so much cooler than of late.

Fabulous to see all the other graduates this week - I hope to continue following everyone’s progress - happy running 💪💪

Thank you - sorry to see you have had to rest up due to a niggle - it is just not worth trying to push through when we get these aches - as everyone is saying - you will come back stronger after the recovery time 😃
