Permission to launch !

Friday
PM - 15min walk + 5min run + daily physio-ordered exercises

I saw the physio at lunch today. He's really happy with my progress & has given me to the ok to slowly crank up the running as of next week! Woohoo. So far as the daily exercises & gym sessions are concerned, he doesn't want to change it too much now due to the Gong ride only being 3 weeks away. But once that's over, the strength work will also have a serious overhaul & increase. Woohoo !

But don't worry, "crank" of course is a relative term. I'm under instructions to make a slow transition to running on the road again after running on the tready for a while & to make very conservative increases - around 10% each week - which means next week I get to run for a whole 1min 30sec longer, LOL ;-) Still, it's better than nothing- happy days!

Great news Jen. Now you can be jenruns again, instead of Jen walks, bikes, swims and cheers. Ok you can still do that, but at least you get to move faster. Yeehah.

"Crank" away Jen.

By the way, what is the significance of that black bird like image on your blog?

Just wondering :)

Relax - at that rate you have plenty of time to get up to the 12k long runs you need for a 6' PB.

I don't mind if it's more boring than Ulysses, as long as it's shorter than War and Peace.

Look forward to seeing you cranking away Jen ;-)

Great to hear Jen. Good idea being injured in winter and being on the mend in time for the lovely spring weather :-)
