Day 106: I ran!

we had our Branch Xmas lunch at Civic Pub on Tuesday...got back to work to see the last four wickets fall in the test...

was quite windy for the ride home...

yesterday morning I walked the boys before driving to the yacht club and walking to Albert Hall catch the bus to Civic...

left work just after lunchtime to walk back to my car so I could pick Tammie up from the airport...

late afternoon I headed to Greenway to do my "RUN"/walk session on the parkrun course...I walked for 15mins (~1.5k) before doing the main part of the session of 6 x 1min "run"/2min walk and finishing with a cool down walk...

my first "run" since my BBQ Stakes win and 106 days after surgery...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 27.9/48% (apparent temp 29.8)

avg HR: 113
TE: 2.3

session splits:

• 140m/200m
• 160m/220m
• 150m/200m
• 150m/200m
• 140m/190m
• 150m/200m

I was nervous before taking the first "running" step but it was reasonably comfortable...no pain...just need to trust that it's going to withstand the work...

I think the cool down walk was good as my muscles (both legs) had forgotten what running felt like...the plan is to repeat this session at parkrun on Saturday...

was a little stiff after but I had a shower and iced my ankle when I got home...

this morning I was a little tight in both calves (still no pain in the heel) but walking the dogs helped with that and I was fine, if a little sveaty, for the ride in...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 20.8/76% (apparent temp 22.9)
start time: 8:07am
total distance: 16.65
total time: 41:19 (including 1:19 stopped time)

last working day of the year for me...
