I am feeling really really happy as my Physio today said I had much more movement in my shoulder and elbow than previously so I could try some short runs but no more than 40 minutes, but still definitely no swimming or cycling! Although I am gutted not to be able to swim in the lake in this fab weather I am ecstatic to be able to run again!
I didn't need telling twice and had my trainers straight on and out I went!
I put my Garmin in my pocket as I didn't want to be depressed at how slow I was running, I just wanted to enjoy the act of running!
I had planned on just doing a couple of miles but it felt so good to be out running again I extended my planned route and ended up doing 3 miles!
I loved every minute of it and was A-M-A-Z-E-D when I got my Garmin out to stop it that I had actually run 3 miles at a 8:51 minute mile pace! I was worrying about not being able to maintain a sub 10 pace and never dreamt that I would manage a sub 9 pace!
Happy Days!
I was so excited about it I texted all my family and friends to tell them about this huge achievement! Thankfully most of them understood my excitement at being back out there and were delighted for me as I haven't been easy to live with recently!
Onwards and upwards - this is just the start!
