W7R1 again ☑️

After a week of enforced rest and still not 100% I felt I just had to go for it and although my hip is still niggly, I did it. I felt my stamina was lower but I just kept going slow and steady and with Sarah urging me on I did it. Really chuffed. And pleased with the distance. I don’t think I’m ever going to be bounding along but right now I’ll settle for simply being able to get outside and run. Guess I’ve been bitten by the bug huh 😁❤️

Yay. Well done! Slow and steady is fine. It’s all you can do at the mo with the horrible pavements

So well done! Hope the hip will get even better: keep going slow and steady...

Well done indeed. I have a dodgy hip and really find rolling helps loosen the gluteus maximus

Tx Helen, I haven’t done that before. What do I need to do?

Google 'foam rollers' or search the posts on here. They are a way of giving yourself a deep muscle massage. Exquisite agony! There are lots of you-tube videos to show you how to use one properly :)

Ouch, sorry about the hip and well done for the run. I was hoping to have done that run by now, but the pavements are still slippery.

Slow and steady works just fine. Nicely done.
