auburnette Oct 2020 9:49am, 6 Oct 2020 1,748 posts	Quote Pin auburnette I'm feeling really good other than my right foot where the tendonitis (or is it a possible stress reaction?) has flared back up again. Calves are a little stiff possibly from the hills, quads and hams feel good. After a tired day yesterday feeling much more energetic today. Planning on taking this week entirely off from running to let the foot recover and ease back into it very gently next week. May do a 10k on 28th October depending on how the recovery is going but it'll be a benchmark race so I have something to work on, there's a series over the winter. Looking forward to receiving the medal and the T shirt Hope everyone's recovery is going well.

I think I’m going to sign up for virtual New York Marathon at the end of the month. Just hoping boris doesn’t bring in any crazy restrictions like not going too far from home

In my, admittedly advantageous, geographical situation, a full marathon would be similar to the distance needed for a single-run gridmaster
