I'm back

My new running shoes arrived today and having not run in five weeks I thought it time to see how the possible stress fracture, the swollen ankle, the thickened achilles and the tight calf were getting on. But first I had to put in a days work. So at 5pm I headed out into the dark with my head torch. It was 1 degree centigrade - bloody freezing. Within 20 metres I had gone over on my ankle - running with a head torch isn't ideal but fortunately there was no damage. I ran easily for 10k and ignored the time. It was good to be back running. I had felt a few tweaks but nothing painful. So as a precaution I soaked my calves and feet in an ice cold bath for 5 minutes. Brrrrrrrr. Tomorrow I have a day off training but on Sunday I'll pick up the training and stretch the distance.
