Well after 6 weeks off due to quad strain I tentatively got back out there! I forgot about the fact that my last run was week 8 and started week 1.

It was just brilliant to be running again, even though I was really cautious at first and felt like I was limping a tiny bit. By the 4th 1 minuter I was back!! So happy and relaxed right back into it again. My leg is a bit stiff but when I think about how I could only get around by hobbling and couldn't even navigate steps, it all feels right again.

So here we go again,only 8 and a bit weeks to go and one run down!!!

Finally,I was very surprised that I hadn't lost my fitness and wasn't out of breath.

Happy days!

;)

Thanks all, good to see your support as ever :) Leg's bit tender, but to be expected I suppose after weeks of only walking and not a lot else. Hope you're all enjoying your runs?
