It would be fair to say 2014 hasn't gone to plan so far. The runstreak recovery has taken longer than expected and with the morning's being so dark it is hard to recover that motivation! This weekend the weather was perfect, beautiful sunshine. I was hoping to take on a parkrun & then follow with a ten miler on Sunday. Neither came to fruition. Something didn't feel right in my ankle & owing to the side of caution coupled with a parkrun veto Saturday didn't happen. Sunday the weather was again amazing, yet my ankle was on ice. Given the issues since the runstreak I felt it was more sensible to rest up than be picked up halfway through an aborted run.
So a new week means a return to the run plan. My calves and Achilles feel ok and I've not picked up any shin pain for a while. The ache in the ankle had faded so it was time to slip into the 010's and start again.
Today was a nice reintroduction, easy running. At no point did I feel pressured to push the pace, I even hid the GPS under my sleeve. If I recover nicely then this will be the building block for the rest of the month.
