After nursing my foot tendon and giving it rehab for over a week I was getting stir crazy so on my birthday yesterday I launched off out to do the run with fingers or feet crossed??

Cold but dry and with my son encouraging me to succeed I did the run with no issues and returned to find my beloveds had prepared me a birthday breakfast with cards and gifts. What a brilliant start to the day!

Today foot is still fine so am back on the programme! Yaaaay

Yes 28 mins was fine! I thought it was only 3 more mins than previous week so what the heck. Its a mind thing!

Thank you for birthday wishes. Will watch foot a lot!

Well done! There’s nothing quite like coming off the injury couch. I had a similar tendon injury around week 8 too and I know how frustrating it is. Great that you’re back to it! 😊

Thank you! I found some good rehab exercises on uTube which helped. I think one foot is more susceptible to injury so may need to get an insole of some sort. It was mentioned when I did gait analysis.

I had a lovely day thank you 😊 and it was so good to be running again. My son said to me afterwards that’s it’s addictive isn’t it and I agree! Sadly he is still nursing an injury so can’t run at the moment and couldn’t run with me 😢.

So glad your foot stood up to the test and it sounds like an extra special birthday too. Cheers from me as well 🥂.

You were braver than me; after my week off for Xmas I am repeating week 7, though, as you say, just 3 more minutes is all in the head and easily done 🤗.

Look forward to seeing you get to week 9 and following you to graduation in January!?!?! 🏃‍♀️👍😯😸

Yes foot stood up to things and it was good to have family to share my birthday as we are scattered in Europe! Thank you 🙏.

I did think about repeating week 7 run 3 but decided to just go for it in W8. You know it was just fine and I didn’t struggle ( no wind 💨 helps!).

Let’s both get to the final post in January .. now we’ve said it we have to do it!! 💪😬🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
