2023 has been pretty bad for me injury wise. Between several niggling ankle and knee injuries, I was really starting to feel like I was missing out.

Anyway, I took a three-week break, and now things are looking better. I've got a whole 15-minute warm up and stretch routine figured out, and started off doing shorter distances for a few days.

I'm always amazed how after just a few weeks my fitness levels go way down. I'll hopefully get back to my 'peak' fitness level before the end of the year, but for now I'll be taking it at a slower pace.

Hopefully that injury bug stays away! I tried to get into running but kept getting set back by shin splints. So incredibly frustrating when I was otherwise thoroughly enjoying running.
