for 10 minutes. And it was over all too soon. I set out walking for 5 minutes then ran for 10 minutes and then walked home. I was supposed to run at an easy pace, but I think I ran way too fast. I was so happy to be running again and I looked at my HR, 145, ok I'd better not push it too much harder. Two minutes later, 155, ok slow down now. Then a moment later, 167, what am I doing, racing or something? So I was a bit keen and my fitness has decreased a lot, but the good news is that my achilles feels fine. I followed with some ice massage and a little later some more massage with Brauer arnica cream. During the run my hip felt a bit stiff and sore still, so I must remember to stretch this area and my back/abdominals.
The delay in running was due to the fact that I didn't get my new blank orthotics until Thursday afternoon and then I didn't get the opportunity to adjust them until today. The orthotics felt fine, so I think I've got them right, although I won't really know until I've used them on a longer run.
Anyway, I'm a pretty happy camper at the moment. Next run will be another "easy" 10 minutes Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, feel free to harrass me about doing my icing, massage, eccentric exercises and stretching.

About Me
- RunDave
- I've been running seriously for about 7 years, but in the next year I am going to take on a far more serious run: a solo unassisted through-run of the Heysen Trail. I am supported by a wonderful wife and we have a couple of great kids with another one on the way soon. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years. It is ironic that I'm born in the year of the horse because I am allergic to them!

RunDave, I wanted to reply to your comment here about old cemeteries! I'm exactly the same as you & can spend hours reading the old headstones & wondering what sort of people they were & the kind of lives they'd lived, etc.
When we lived in Sydney we were very close to the vast, old Waverley Cemetery - still used - & I used wander through there regularly reading the headstones...many famous Australians, poets, sportsmen, church leaders etc. As you also said, I was amazed at first & always saddened to see how many babies & whole families of children & young people in their 20's & 30's all of whom had died during the 1918-1919 'flu pandemic. The number of deaths in Sydney alone was around 3,500 which would equate to about 1.5 million people now! I wonder if our present medical system would be able to handle that!
Oh, and don't forget to do your icing, massage, eccentric exercises & stretching!
Great news about the run Dave. I'm hoping to do the same tomorrow.
PS Don't forget the icing, massage, eccentric exercises and stretching.
Good news Dave. :) PS the above!
