Got the go-ahead to run

Finally after nearly 3 months without any exercise the doctor said I could do some small runs. So last week I managed to get out for 20km mostly on a 3km little out and back trail. Which is quite a bit more than I expected to be able to do.

However, my times for my little 3km run have been going down as the weight has gone up. I have been keen to keep the distance down so have been out a few times in the VFF but even so, the times are down. But the main thing that has deteriorated is the ability to run any kind of distance. 

A wanted a rest so as not to bugger up the legs, so did a cycle up Ball Hill yesterday and took a day off today. My cycle time was not half bad (for me)- Just shows how crap my muscles must be in that respect, 100% loss of no muscle to begin with is  still 0.
