Recently I’ve started running again after I twisted my ankle several weeks back. This was my first run back. I didn’t want to overdo it as my ankle was still a bit sensitive so I just went on a short jog. I ran nearly 4km through the Rajagiriya/Nawala area of Colombo. Despite this I’m surprised that I managed to hit an average speed per km as high as I did considering I struggled to walk down the stairs in the previous week.  I don’t know if I was too early into the recovery process to begin running again but things felt fine afterwards.

1. Identify your own strengths and develop areas for personal growth.

I identified my strengths by pacing myself during the run. There were points in which I was able to move faster and other points in which I tried to conserve my energy.

4. Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences.

Pushing on through the run during the midday heat was difficult but I stayed focused on my goal.
