I'm baaack!

Idk if anyone remembers as it was a while ago I posted, but I broke my toes in October and hadn't been able to run since. Six weeks passed and I was still hobbling as one toe clearly hadn't healed. Anyway, yesterday I decided to try again, pulled on my gear and went to the local park. To run 5k, I need to do just over six laps of the park. Yesterday I managed two, then decided not to push it and walked home.

This morning my toe is absolutely fine but my thighs are protesting, so I think I was right not to crack on for another lap.

I don't know what it was about yesterday that made me want to try again, but something pushed me to go out again and wow, I'm glad I did.

Next run Monday, and maybe this'll be the year I try a park run.

Thank you for the support :D

Oh Crolla that sounds really painful! Glad you seem to be on the mend now and running again. It was sensible to not push it - there’s plenty of time to build up to 5k. Enjoy that Parkrun when you get there!
