D-114 - Back on Track

A first mile(and a bit)stone

"You can start running on a stable surface 6 weeks after the op", he said.  So 6 weeks to the day, I headed to the Basingstoke track with some trepidation.  Not least because after 3 weeks, the improvement to my right foot had halted, and I was starting to get twinges again.

Lap 1 - very gentle, 2:30
Lap 2 - felt OK, 2:15
Lap 3 - feeling more confident, 2:00
Lap 4 - time to take off the trackie, 1:55
Lap 5 - is that a twinge? 1:50

Not a bad start.

PS
No ill effects on Friday, but after a heavy gym session on Saturday morning and an hour of standing at the local off licence wine tasting in the afternoon, I could barely walk home with bags of wine in tow.  What have I done wrong? Is it the track, the gym, or the wine?
