I can run again!

Been to see the physio this morning who says no worrying or permanent damage done to my ankle.... a tendon wear injury and the best thing I can do is to keep running! I have to take it easy and stop if it gets uncomfortable. He said my body will adapt and get stronger but to start thinking like a runner and think about how I sit (not cross legged or curled up) and to try and join a gym. Going to hydrate properly today then try a run tomorrow! Thankyou for everyone's kind words and messages since my grumpy moan last week. X

It’s amazing to get the green light isn’t it? I’m only allowed one minute intervals at the moment but it’s all progress. Take care xx

Hope to be (virtually) with you soon! The IC is so demoralising. Visit to osteopath tomorrow morning.
