I have finished W4 and feel good but it was hard work. I bought some new

trail running shoes and will christen them on Sat at my local Parkrun, assuming

the exertion dossn't kill me :-(

Great new year to everyone

Well done Ed. If my calf muscle doesn't heal soon you'll be overtaking me and getting to the end of week 5 before me :-(

Hi Sian, sorry to hear you're still not running. How long do you think before you're running again?

Judging by the time it took to heal last time, probably won't be running again for another ten days. Kiss it better?

It's been about 10 days so far', and all though the pain has gone, I know from previous experience that if I don't give it about 3 weeks, it'll just go again and I'll waste even more time. I've got a sore throat and my breathing is a bit crappy at the moment anyway, so I'm just enjoying being pampered :-)
