Seems to be the story of my life - well at least in the exercise stakes - trying to get back into the swing of doing things after illness or injury.
Been for 3 runs this week: two to my local Morrisons (one of which I added a bit of a detour to get the distance up), and the other one along the seaside with Grandad.
Trying to push how far I go without stopping each time - so one run this week was 1.75 miles (which is the distance to Morrisons), and the other two I tried to do 2 miles. Maybe next week I can push up to 2.25 on my longer ones - as the second attempt at 2 miles was definitely better than the first!
Also seem to be improving my age grading - although GRG and my 'Rate my Run' app seem to differ in their opinions! GRG says I'm about 40-43% and RMR is more around 45-47%. Either way I've been getting some of my better gradings this week despite the long time off (although possibly thanks to the swimming I've been doing).
Garmin activity compare over 2.16 miles ... (I'd put this in the HTML but it seems to go crazy over the page)
Perfect day for running I guess: not too hot or cold, reasonable breeze, and no blasting sunshine to blind. Had my ipod on to listen to the Tings Tings which is definitely my favourite music to run to. Wasn't pushing too hard for the first mile and then did a wee bit on my lap of the playing field next to the store - but not sprinting style pushing. All in all quite happy with the progress at the moment.
GRG link for today's run is Run to Morrisons + detour
Glad to see things improving for you and I do like a read of a good blog!!! I am sure you'll continue improving (probably at a right old rate of knots..)
