W8R1 after rehab

[Nymahchai]

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

What good news, well done for perseveringly and getting back on track with the programme

Happy Birthday and here’s to graduation 👩‍🎓 in 2020!🏃‍♀️👏👏👏

Thank you 🙏 and onward to my graduation in January I hope ! Still in disbelief!

Great news Nymahchai - was the 28mins still ok after your layoff ? Great effort and have a great new year

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to SteveWebbo]

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

[Elfe5 Graduate]

That’s great- keep listening to your foot! ... and happy birthday for yesterday! 😄

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

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! 😊

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Hidden]

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.

[RunningMigster Graduate]

A very happy birthday for yesterday. Glad to hear you got spoilt. Well deserved!

And great that you're back out there and feeling no ill effects. Wont be long now! How exciting!!

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to RunningMigster]

Thank you for birthday wishes! I did love being spoiled and I am beyond excited to soon reach the final sign off!! My target to do that is before 20th January 🌵😬

[RunningMigster Graduate in reply to Nymahchai]

And you just know that we're all going to be cheering you along, every step of the way!

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to RunningMigster]

I can’t tell you how much this support keeps me on track! I have decided I like this new me 😂

[RunningMigster Graduate in reply to Nymahchai]

I feel exactly the same way!

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to RunningMigster]

👏👏👏

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Great you're back running Nymachai. Happy birthday for yesterday hope you had a great day 😊😊🎂🎂

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

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!?!?! 🏃‍♀️👍😯😸

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to apatsyf]

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!! 💪😬🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[apatsyf Graduate]

Definitely! 👍🏃‍♀️🤗🚶‍♀️This last pic is a bit more like me running!! 😂

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to apatsyf]

🤣oh that’s me! Very sloooow too! 👍
