Have been under the radar recently as first on the injury couch and then the sickness couch but finally got out and broke the deadlock. Just an easy jog for 3.5K but at least I turned my legs over and felt I could have gone on to 5K for my Weekly Virtual run. Onward and upward and pleased I can still run and don't have to go back in the program๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ˜

Yes, it gets in your head if you don't run but it's good to know you don't forget how to do it ๐Ÿ‘

Good news that you are on youโ€™re way onwards and upwards ๐Ÿ˜Š

No V5k for me this week as Iโ€™m also on the IC. My ankle has been troubling me for a couple of weeks but hadnโ€™t stopped me running. After a hectic week at work on my feet it is sore even before running so Iโ€™m doing the sensible thing and RICE- ing it.

The weather in the Midlands this weekend made it a much easier decision ๐ŸŒง ๐ŸŒง

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Happy โ€˜carefulโ€™ running!

Yes thanks and you take it easy too ๐Ÿ‘Might be worth strapping your ankle up with a crepe bandage to give it a bit extra support ๐Ÿค”

Yes thanks ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Iโ€™ve got an ankle, arch support on it now but it doesnโ€™t really go with the work dress and shoes ๐Ÿฅฟ๐Ÿ˜‚

That's great, especially after the double whammy. I am currently on the injury couch and it could be a few weeks although I am able to do some walking so can at least keep my legs going a bit.

Sorry to hear you're on the IC too. It's frustrating but no good running when you're not up to it eitherโ˜น๏ธ
