So much has happened over the last few weeks, we finally sold our house so it was all systems go to get moving. Wednesday of this week i travelled to Wales with Miles the Cat and left hubby to tie up any lose ends back in london. The move went well and Miles has so far settled in really well,he hasn't yet however had a poo I'm putting that down to him being a little stressed/change of scenery plus I cannot let him out so may be he's not moving around enough as he was an outdoor cat. I know that when he eventually go's it's going to be a big one !
On Thursday I went for a run around my new local area...omg, it was a tough run and so very hilly. I didn't realise how much fitness I had lost until that run. Over the next month or so I will improve and get fitter...fact !!

Slowly doe's it.
Since my last blog I have increased my mileage slowly with my longest run being 5.6 miles. After each run I have stretched my achilles thoroughly and ensured I have stretched it through out the day, the swelling has gone down.
This week I will have done 15 miles once I complete a 4.5 miler tomorrow. Next week I will be adding a few more miles, which will mean a 4th run day will be added.
Will report back next week with the outcome.......

Achilles problems
After my previous blog my achilles flared up and was advised by a physio not to run for at least 2 weeks,stretch,ice, blah blah.
Last week I was a bit naughty and came back running after only one week off (tut tut !!) the achilles was feeling much better. I made a plan of doing 3 x 30 minute runs (Mon,Weds,Friday) with a cycle ride as cross training, this plan went well and without any achilles issues, after every run I stretched well and also iced the area I have also placed heel raises in my running shoes which seem to have helped . Today I was so tempted to go for a run but thought better of it as I knew that it could be the run that flared up the achilles.
The plan for next week is to do 4 x 40 minute runs plus a cycle or two. So lets see what happens, tbh I can't wait to get some long runs done.
