Week 3 plus

Didn’t think I’d be able to run when I started out, as my knee was bothering me for a minute. So I took tiny steps really lightly and focused on engaging those glutes and keeping hips nice and straight, then all seemed okay. Thought Strava was recording but it wasn’t, so I just recorded my run/walk home. So ended up probably doing 3.5km... happy with that. Iced my knee when home just for good measure.

Happy running all.

Great running... keep giving that knee the TLC. Sometimes pace gets in the way, so when a tracker fails to record a run it’s no bad thing. Enjoy your next... great photo too.
