21 May 2013 – Waiting for the Sun

after finding it quite uncomfortable to walk at times yesterday, I didn’t quite know what to expect this morning.

The legs weren’t too bad when I got up, but the first few steps of the “run” (more like a shuffling jog) made sure to remind me of how much work they’d been asked to do on Sunday!

All was well after the blood had been pumping around the muscles for a little while and I was able to maintain a slow shuffling jog for the full distance. It felt quite good afterwards, though the soreness did creep back in after being on the bus for a while.

Still, it wasn’t so long ago that I would be wiped out for a whole weekend, just by kicking a ball with my son for 30 minutes. So still being able to jog for 6km after a weekend that included a half marathon – well if that isn’t progress then I don’t know what is 🙂
