W5 R1 Done πŸ‘

Good evening everybody,

I decided to try an off road run today, as it was quite windy and the road route is quite open. Running around the lake is sheltered by trees. Found a nice rhythm and took it slowly and thoroughly enjoyed it. Achilles a bit sore, but plenty of stretching and an ice pack seems to have eased it. 2 days off till the next one.

Can’t wait to get back to W7R1, as every time I open the app that’s where it takes me, and I have to scroll back.......I must be patient..... 😜

Happy running folks!

Hopefully the bike work will help exercise your calves, and build some strength. You’ll smash it when you get back πŸ‘ŠπŸΌπŸ˜

The bike good but not the same as going out for a run so calves better not much pain in the Achilles but don’t want to rush back either lol frustrating 😑

It is frustrating but you have to be sensible or it could make it worse.

Sounds like you’re on the mend 😊 I ran round the park today as it’s flatter than the roads around the house. Was lovely to look up at the trees and across to the river, I’m sure it made the runs go quicker!

Yes, I much prefer a scenic route, rather than the noise of the road!

You'll be back there very soon πŸ€—. Sounds a nice route round a lake; off road always better to me. I can't wait until the woods are dry enough to run safely - like a quagmire at the moment, but does make a good workout and will be great for consolidation runs!!! Keep looking after your ankle. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘Ÿ

Look after that tendon.. you are doing all the stuff for it! As you say you’ll have to be patient. Just enjoy each run and the time will pass 😁

Well done Wenderwoo. You're taking the sensible approach which I am sure will pay off in the long run (the second time today I've used that pun!). I'm sure it won't take you long to catch back up with yourself. Good luck & keep on keeping on...
