First run of week 3!

I have just completed my first run of week 3! My new trainers arrived on Sunday, they make such a massive difference. So proud of myself for being able to run a solid 3 minutes! I wore an ankle support for today’s run as I broke my ankle 10 years ago and it still gives me grief from time to time.

My shin pain is also still here. My left shin (which is the leg I wore my ankle support on) is now looking quite swollen. I’m going to spend the day elevating and icing it! Hopefully good to run on either Thursday or Friday 🏃🏻‍♀️

Due to weak ankles and confinement, as well as all the parks being closed here in Paris I'm cracking this on my rebounder and my ankles are increasing in strength daily.
