Today was run day πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ been a funny week lots going on so couldn’t run until today had 4 rest days πŸ€” so wasn’t looking for to the run so week 5 run 1 the first 5 min was very frustrating being past by a snail 🐌 and then a worm πŸ› thought this isn’t going well so thought to myself getting a grip and pull you socks lol ended up catching the snail 🐌 and the worm πŸ› stayed out running done 5 k in total so was landed with the effort in the end πŸ˜ƒ and only the second time to use my new shoes πŸ‘Ÿ

Great you got out for another run. Glad it went okay. The first 5 -10 minutes of a run can feel like that but you continued and finished. 😊😊

It is a worry when you've already been injured . But you know taking the rest and running slow hopefully will help. Good luck 🀞
