    Nearly 2 weeks since my last run. Went to physio, had a tight tendon in my foot. Feels fine now. Will chance a slow 5k tomorrow. Will be wearing the insoles for the first time running, and don't want to stray too far from the car.

    6.5k. Great to be back out. Didn't notice the insoles at all when I got moving. Very happy. Knee/foot feels great, although that might just be my adrenalin going mad. Will know more tomorrow.

    16.5 in 1:50. Didn't mean to go that far, took a wrong turn. Walked from 12-15, and ran in the rest. Forgot what it was like to be out for that long.

    12k tonight in 1:01. Faster pace tonight, was runner with an army guy and he was mad for speed. I let him off after 5, I caught up with him again. Be it a second wind or he's only back running 2 weeks, got a great feeling when I saw him anyway.

    I follow the others! Run around the town, various routes, 10km on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And stretch out the distance on Saturday mornings, with a slower pace. Under 20km for now anyway.

    7km in 39 mins tonight. Felt great to be back, man the evenings have got a lot warmer. I've been using the foam roller for the last 2 weeks, trying to strengthen my leg and iron out the niggles.

    10km in 55 mins. Started off easy enough, was hitting 1km/6mins. All going well. 7km, a another girl caught up so I said I'd go with her. Put the boot down. Didn't go mad as we were talking a bit. Good night all the same.

    Hm done in 1:59:18. Went out too fast, should have stuck with the 2 hour packers for the first half, settled in a pace then tried to blow on a bit. Didn't expect it to be so warm, will add more hills to the training. Not too shabby, considering I've been poxed with one thing or another the past few months. Going to take it handy now for the next week. And decide on my next goal.

    13km in 1:20. Haven't found a good pace yet that I am happy with. Ideally I want to be at 5:30/km. I'll get there soon I suppose.

    13km in 1:12. I was actually feeling a bit sick before we ran so started off slow enough. After 3km, I blew on. Tried to keep it as close to 5min/km as I could. Met my mam and sister out walking, they live 10 miles away, was a bit shocked to see them, and my sis roared 'move it chonky'. While I got a bit of a g up from it, she's off my Christmas card list now. B1tch.
