I was really pleased with my efforts on day 1 and went into day 2 feeling a bit more confident in my abilities.  Day 2 was really hard for me and I started to feel some little niggles in my right leg from hip to knee to foot.  And then boom, I strained my hip and had to make an appointment with the physio.

I rested for 4 days and then ran day 3 which was really hard but not too sore.  I've got another appointment with the physio and we will come up with some sort of action plan so if I'm allowed to continue to run I'll move onto week 5.
