OK I've had about 3 weeks off - terrible chesty cold excuse.
There was another run before then, just being lax with the recording tbh
but today's was another new approach - ditching the iphone/mapmyrun combo and just using my old ipod mini thing - listening to music, not being at all concerned about the nice lady telling me how slowly I'm runing.
So I have no idea how far I went other than it was the same route as usual (I think I am beyond cracking the 5-mile mark...) and it was no doubt slow. But I ran out of puff, my arthritic toe was aching and my left side hips/thigh were hurting (probably due to the flipping arthritic toe)
But it was ok. I don't want to join the club and turn into a running bore - they're lovely people but omg they go on...
Will I continue? I want to - it's good, flexible exercise and it makes me feel good. But the toe is an increasingly big issue. It's aching and it's affecting how I run - twisting possibly, lop-sided at least.
Perhaps a sports massage to ease the left side a bit - I have no idea.
Don't ever get old.
Don't ever get arthritis.
