My 'Couch to 5k' diary (wk8 d2)

Yep, Christmas day. That's why it didn't get written up!

My partner got up early to give me a present before I left, a wooly hat with a light in it, absolutely brilliant gift, worked a treat along the unlit areas. The hat is very thick and warm so I sweat even more but so worth it to be able to see, highly recommend it 👍

I took a different route today, stayed on footpaths round in loops to accommodate the extra couple of minutes. It worked well and the body seemed to fair quite well. My ankles are still very stiff and these longer runs I'm noticing a very, very slight niggle in my right knee. Probably due to most of that leg and foot being numb from my back issues meaning I have to really concentrate on every step taken on that foot is 'normal,' even when walking.

The calfs seem to be settling down though which is a relief, finally 😂

Now to enjoy plenty of dinner, chocolate and cheese..... Not necessarily in that order 😝

Great effort. Do remember to stretch out all those little achy bits to prevent injury. Imagine, you are going to be graduating really soon in the new year, what a way to start 2020 🙆‍♀️👍🎉

[Remikins Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

Yes, it wasn't planned but has worked out to be pretty good timing 👍
