I feel pretty good. A little nauseous today but I often have that problem. Trying to hydrate properly and rest but I’m rubbish at resting.
The hamstring and hip are ok as long as I don’t run! Won’t be doing that for a week.
Removing the nipple plasters from my hairy chest wasn’t fun!! The toe plasters just came off to reveal at least 3 nails that won’t be with me long and some blisters. But the strapping kept them from hurting while running.
So all in all I’m in good shape and nothing I didn’t expect from previous marathons.

This was hard but in a good way. My legs felt strong and I had a beautiful cloudy sky to look at
@SoberWalker A lot of knee pain comes from the surrounding muscles and ligaments not being very strong. Strength work is our friend. Are you using the same shoes you used when walking? You may need new shoes. Old shoes can cause shin and knee pain

No, I use my running shoes. They are practical new and bought in a good store with advice.
I have an injury in my left popliteal for a few months now. Havent seen a doctor yet. But when running it hurts. I hoped by triggering it it would heal 
I will look into some strenght workouts, thank you!

Getting ready for hiking season by trail running on steep trails. This one had 800 feet in about 1.4 miles. Then a couple miles of pure bushwhacking hell.

Nice hard run in the pouring rain. Cleanses the soul! Just a couple easy runs left before a half marathon this weekend. Can’t wait!

You gave me the boost I needed to also head out in the rain today 
I had to remind myself - I’m not made of sugar and will not melt… haha

Once you accept the fact you will be soaked, it’s pretty great! As long as it’s not windy

Good morning runners,
Todays the 5k. Im nervous but just going to do my best. The only goal is to finish. My achilles still isnt 100%. Taking the approach that this run/walk will be a baseline for me. Maybe i wont want to do another 5k who knows. Signing up for this was just motivation to keep focused on my weightloss/health journey.
Here we go…
