Well itβs been a while since Iβve jumped puddles on my run, but this morning there were plenty of opportunities to do that. The overnight rain made the woodland cool and fresh and the birds were out in abundance; it was beautiful. Fortunately the track wasnβt too muddy, just a few surface puddles to negotiate as I ran. Iβm loving being back out there at a happy slow pace π π.
The recovery runs are going well. Iβm now starting to reduce the length of my walk intervals and add time to my run sections, with the intention that they will eventually merge into my first continuous run since injury.
The new running insoles have arrived, so I put them into my Mizuno trainers and tried them out today. They definitely put an extra spring in my step and the additional support and cushioning was noticeable. Hopefully they will help fend off a return of the dreaded shin splints.
Happy running to all who can, and to those on the IC, I hope that you are back out there soon.
