I ran for the first time since leaving the hospital. It was only just over two miles at a very easy pace but it felt good to get back out again. My knee had been giving me some issues over the past week but it felt much better than I had expected. The hamstring above it felt a little suspect though. Hopefully, that won’t be anything to worry about.
When you run again after a while off you worry a little about things going wrong. I will have to be patient in building up the distance again as I regain confidence and hopefully avoid any additional injuries.
I have now completed just over 45 miles in my Lands End to John O’ Groats virtual run. There is still a very long way to go. The leaders in the run have already made it to the Manchester area which is approximately 380 miles from Lands End. That’s an average of just under 24 miles per day. I very rarely run 24 miles in a week, but I’m hoping to build to about 35-40 miles weekly.
