Running Running…no more

Went for run with tribe people, overestimated my 3rd weeks’ break. Supposed to run 16km non-stop, but not the case for sure. My under utilised ligament was strained and it’s time for treatment. Well, I did complete the 16km, however, walking for the last few kms. I so miss running, I so need to run.

Update: 5 more weeks
