Well what a running week it's been. Graduation on Monday left my ankles feeling rather sore again but the strengthening exercises must be working their magic as they were much better after a couple of days rest and a bit of swimming. Took it very steady on Thursday and broke the run up into two shorter sections with a bit of a rest and walk in the middle. Ankles sore again, but this time just one day of rest needed to feel better.
And so onto today's parkrun - number 11 - and the planned meet up with BaddieThePirate , Runningroni , TailChaser , Katnap and the kittens... all lovely people. Thanks to the running company of eldest kitten, was spurred on to run a personal best (still very slow but getting progressively better). Had a lovely long chat afterwards over delicious kedgeree and coffee. Thanks so much to you all for a lovely morning and a lovely first running-related meet-up (first sport/fitness-related anything in fact!!).
So , in short, consolidation is going rather well and is an ever-evolving journey of discovery.
Next step is to get a plan together for some North West England Parkrun tourism... everyone invited... first Saturday of each month... watch this space for more details. Anyone up for that occasionally?
