Week 9 on hold 😔

Well I should’ve been graduating today but I’ve had to put Week 9 on hold 😔 I did run 1 on Tuesday and it was fine but since Wednesday I’ve had a really sore knee. It’s something I’ve suffered from before, the physio last year said it was most likely a torn meniscus. I’ve been resting it and icing it then went for a little Walk yesterday, it was fine while I walked but I’d still really sore this morning. I’m not sure whether I need it to be fully better before I run again as it gets most sore when it’s been in one position for a while so don’t actually know whether running will make it better it worse

Definitely fully better before you run again then take it very slow

Heal well and enjoy your rest time

I know! I really wanted to graduate along with you and others who’d been at the same stage 😔

Guess I’ll just have to be patient but that’s never been my strong point!

I’m feel for your disappointment. Nonetheless, you will graduate when your ready , it will be the Icing on top of the cake ( so to speak).

Speedy recovery 🏃‍♀️ Don’t forget to let us all know when you get to shout - YES - I’ve done it 🐾

Thank you and don’t you worry, when I finish that last run I’ll be shooting so loud you’ll all hear me without me even needing to post on here 😉 (but I’ll post anyway to be in the safe side 😂)

Aw thanks I’m hoping it’ll hurry up and get better cos I’m really missing the running.... feels a bit weird to say that it’s amazing how quickly e get used to having it in our lives isn’t it!

How’s the consolidation going?

CobbleRunnerGraduate in reply toWorkingathome

To be honest I am less motivated since I finished the programme so the consolidation runs are going okay. I think I need a goal! Rest up 💛
