Week 7 ... the return (ish)

Well as you all know from my previous posts week 7 has been delayed due to my breaking my left arm (and wrist apparently).

Saw the Medics yesterday. Good news is no surgery yay !!!. BAD news is no running yet. Apparently the swinging of my arms and the general skeletal load by running is bad for my wrist ( which i found out also has a small fracture yesterday). Currently no runs for 12 days, yes I really miss it, and I need to wait another 7 before i can start again.

Doc advised I start slow. I told him he's evidently never seen a C25K runner if he thinks there is any chance I could be fast. Lol.

Anyway good running to you guys who are killing it.

Todays thought for the day - Please remember slow is good.

And to quote my daughter who answered a colleague who snidly commented that I must be a really slow runner.

"Slow he may be, but hes faster than your fat ass which is permanently stuck in that chair"

I love my girl. 😍

I'll be back peeps. Stay safe xxx

Hey Dudders. Just saw your post from 4 days ago. By the time you read this there will only be 3 days left before you hit the road again. Be slow and steady when you do. I will be looking forward to your first post back. Px
