After 43 days of enforced rest I ran for the first time today!!! Boy did it feel good but hard work!!! Its amazing how it takes years to build fitness up but it soon goes in a flash! I was extremely nervous about going out as well as excited! My Physio said to do a short 10 minute S L O W run!

| Natural Hero Ginger Muscle Rub |
The first few minutes were fairly painful and I did think I wasn't going to last the full 10 minutes, but I gritted my teeth and the pain eased.

| Natural Hero Cooling Spray |
I don't think I could have comfortably run any further but it felt good just to be out there again.
As soon as I walked through the door I iced it for about half an hour, before getting a shower and then I used the Natural Hero cooling spray which seemed to work really well. I still have a very cold foot!
I'm feeling invigorated now and itching to run some more, but will follow my physio's instructions! Monday is my next run - another lengthy one at a whole 12 minutes! If I take it easy now I'm hoping to make a good recovery! I never want to go back to where I was!
