I did it!
An actual, real run! This is how my day panned out: 4 miles (yes, you read that right) walking the Ollie-doggo in the pouring rain/howling gale first thing (followed by shower, breakfast and coffee). The a spot of Yoga with Adriene (day 12), followed by a short shopping trip and home for coffee and peanut butter and honey on toast (my current favourite lunch). After some digestion time then a short (0.45 mile) walk/run warm up, I decided to take the plunge and risk it... The sun was shining (a total turn around from first thing, although it was still windy), the zombies were chasing me - well, I needed to run. I ran as easy as I could and was staggered when I got home to find that my pace was well under 11:00 per mile (and my cardio health score remains at 41 in spite of my 3 week rest). Adriene helped with a quick post-run stretch, then I re-taped my foot using kinesiology tape (more on that another time). Another mile walked with the mutt (again, in the pouring rain!) and D&I are off out for a well-deserved meal this evening. I feel confident that with careful training in the meantime, I will be able to tackle the half in 2 weeks. Happy days :)
