I really hope the knee is better this week. A couple of good sessions, backed up with two easy runs. Let’s keep ticking off those sessions. You’re running so well at the moment Manami. Pts means progress.
I’m glad I managed to start running again. I saw a couple of therapists for my knee over there. I did enjoy running around Tokyo especially parkrun. This week I didn’t push too much.
Glad you were able to start running again Manami and given you were away on your holidays that’s a very productive week. Hopefully the knee is good to go now and we can back on track here in Hastings. I’m glad you live in our town 🧡🖤
