Finally after weeks of recovering from yet another foot/archilles/calf injury, I managed to go for a short run. I was quite nervous in case I hurt myself again but I really wanted to give it a try. Even if I only managed five minutes.
We have just spent a week away at camp, so I had been doing lots of walking without upsetting my delicate muscles. I am also aware that the mud challenge is coming up very quickly and I am keen to take part in that. So off to the gym I trundled.
After a warm up on the bike, I clambered onto one of the treadmills. I set the course to Auckland/Wellington and zero incline. Off I went. Five minutes - feeling good. Ten minutes - feeling good, could I manage another five minutes or would that push me over the edge? Fifteen minutes and still feeling good. But I stopped - I really didn't want to injure myself and I was happy with fifteen minutes. So good.
Now looking forward to the next one!
