Hey, I'm a Runner Again !

Redjeep

I did my first road run since June tonight. I'd gone out with the intention of doing a gentle 5km as I'm still recovering from an injury but ended up doing 10km.

I pulled an achilles when I twisted my ankle mountain running back in June and wasn't able to do any running for weeks afterwards. I've been building up my mileage on my tready for the past 3 or 4 weeks, but haven't been out on the road for ages... 

Even better, I even got a really nice, sexy smile and hello from a yummy mummy walking with her kids....(that's a first as well)!

Well done Redjeep. Must feel good. I'm currently out with an adductor problem which is mending very slowly. Hope to be following in your footsteps in a few weeks ...

Redjeep: Well done.

Thanks everyone. It feels good and I can't wait until I can get out again tomorrow night. I just need to make sure that I don't overdo it before I'm fully fixed.

Good stuff.  One of the consolations of injury is that you can get back into decent shape before too long, as long as you're patient.  Keep the effort at the right level and the speed will come back.  Having barely got off the operating table I'm a little way behind you, but very much looking forward to getting back to it.

Was back out again tonight for another 10km, plan to do a 6km trail run over the weekend and then out with the club next Wednesday for a 10km torchlit fell run.
