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!
Good job at going for 15 minutes on the treadmill and taking a risk to go for a run hoping that you wouldn't hurt you archilies. Doing well keep it up i'm sure you have made a big progress just by going for 5-15 minutes. By the way my mum said she saw you at gym:)
ReplyDeleteGood decision on taking it easy for your Achilles and only doing a short run. Great effort on the 15 minute run. Doing really well i'm sure you have made lots of progress just by going on small runs keep it up. Also my mum said she saw you at the gym :)
