Fingers crossed you don't get any pain from your run. Are you still managing without pain relief ?😊

Yes still no pain relief but a slight pain but couldn’t stick it any more so bit the bullet and went for a little jog loved it to be back out there although it was a short run just to see if I could πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

You did the right thing by keeping it short. Hopefully everything going well you can build on that. Good luck 😊
