W5R1 Delayed

Was hoping to start W5R1 Thursday but feel I'm having to delay it due to painful left Achilles heel after W4R3.

As much as I'm disappointed I feel I need to rest it a bit longer until Tuesday of next week, maybe.

Lots of ice, anti imflammatories and rest.

Disappointed but feeling sensible. πŸ™

Well done, enough breath to chat? Not working hard enough! Lol, I'm joking, that's brilliant. 😁

Ankle still a little sore but getting easier.

Still aiming for Tuesday, will be back in Spain, which is much more motivating, but won't be running if it's not right. You'll be on W6 by then, hope you don't forget us poor W5s, πŸ˜₯.

Yes i cld speak LOL ! I doubt i will b on W6 by Tues , W5R3 intimidating ....plus W5R2 to do first.

I can't tell what a run is going 2 b like until i'm doing it . So cld go either way .But i am not in a hurry ; if i have to repeat a run or 2 ...no worries.

Spain sounds good , take it easy . Keep chatting ; the support really does help . ☺

I can become nag, so watch out.

There's no point in hurrying, I'm not, just hate injuries. I've bought some heel supports to help Achilles, so will wait and see.

I was under the impression that each run of W5 was just a repeat like previous weeks, got quite a shock when I looked ahead, OMG!

Will keep chatting don't worry, it really does help to have someone at the same stage to have banter with. πŸ˜€
