As I've just said on my main blog, it's been a while since I last posted. But until this morning it had also been a while since I had run :o(
I managed a few runs after my last post and was really pleased to run 4 miles on 19th July - but then I realised I had hurt my hip and it took over two weeks to feel better enough to think about running - but by then we were on holiday in Italy and it was just too hot to even think about running (although that didn't stop Mr Locket!). Once we had returned I should have got straight out there but I had got out of the habit and I really had to force myself to go out with Dot this morning. I've lost so much fitness - it was a struggle. I've also gained 8lbs since going away so there is more of me to cart around. We managed 2 miles - with lots of stops to walk, partly because I was exhausted and needed to catch my breath and partly because Dot's foot was hurting. The first mile was really hard but it got better and I'm really pleased I went out - especially as I don't have any aches and pains now. :o)
