Gotta start somewhere. Back felt as vulnerable as ever when I got up, but I'd decided that I'd 'jog' round parkrun if I woke up in time. Mostly to see how it responded to running. Took an ibuprofen and really felt total lack of c-v fitness on warmup jog to the park. Settled into roughly 25th position on the first lap and felt I could maintain that place with a bit of effort. It was mostly a struggle but there were a couple of times heading uphill with the wind behind when I actually felt good. Lap splits roughly 7.15, 7.45, 7.45. Wore glasses as still no contacts post eye op, and they were fine. Real test will be with my back through the rest of the day.
