Rest day so just went out a walk, just 4.4k/7500 steps.

Hip n ankles feel worse than on a run day 😞😞

Mine is my knees. Ouch they are sore. Perhaps take an actual rest day and take the pressure off. I am sort of saying this to myself as I am very impatient!

Ha yes! I am doing the running so that I can keep my hands in the biscuit tin!

I guess we need to be less impatient & give the aches n pains a chance to disappear 🀞🏼🀞🏼

Rest day exercise is great... walking is good.. swimming too, cycling, a days gardening or a housework blitz!!

You are doing fine :)
