6 weeks rest. Just like starting again!

[witchynic]

So, after a weekend of festival dancing, alcohol, burgers and heartburn, i decided to get back to it. It's been 6 weeks rest with only a couple of tries in between. My shins still hurt but if i dont start again then i might as well not bother with this 10k run (will be a walk now!).

Headed off after school drop off. Woods were muddy so i tried a different route, which was good but very tiring. Lots of ups and downs. Ended up walking and jogging for 50 minutes so i feel like i've really done some work. I'm going to do some more stretches now and have a shower. Hopefully my shins wont have me on the Tramadol today! If they do then i'm just going to go back to the GP and demand a scan or something. I've attached a photo of the new part of my route today. Lovely jubbly!

Well done on getting back to running, I know it can be tough sometimes after a break! That's a brilliant photo as well, I'm a bit jealous of your route

Well done on running again.

I'm off with a groin injury at the moment.....10 days without a run...and I blimmin hate it!

Your blog has stopped me being scared I'm going to have to start all over again!

Also, like frazzles, very jealous of your route! Good luck

ooh Gypsydepp, it's SO frustrating isnt it! I did more walking than running but i figured every little helps. I didnt have the c25k on, just some music that i like to sing along to and i ran when i felt up to it and walked when i was tired. Shins arent as bad as i thought they would be. I'll try some more on Wednesday.

Good luck with your jogging, take it EASY!!

Frazzles, thanks! i love where i live. Having moved here from the depths of East London, this place is like paradise!!
