Off the IC at last! 😀😀🎈

[JoP61]

Well I attended the fracture clinic yesterday and the doc said yes! I can run again and my foot is fine. Can't tell you how happy I felt, hearing that news.

Would just like to thank all of you out there who have cheered me on and cheered me up over the last 12 weeks when I felt hopeless on the IC. And I'd like to encourage everyone who is still on the IC - hopefully you will get there too.

Had a little run on a treadmill at the gym today and it felt great.

Thank you. You kept me going and made sure I didn't give up. 😀👏👏👏👏❤

That is great news that you can run again, you must be the happiest person in the world. 😊 🏃

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

What a lovely way to put it! I am the happiest person in the world indeed. Thank you 👍😀

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Brilliant news! Good luck with getting back out there - take it easy too!🙂

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you so much. I will be careful about getting back out there. Planning to do C25K again as a controlled way to build up the running again. 😀👍

[linda9389 Graduate10]

Ooh, fantastic news for you. Take it easy out there and enjoy every minute of it 🙂👍

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Thank you! I will definitely take it carefully and enjoy it so much. I had a little run today and felt yipee yipee yah! If you know what I mean.

🤣🤣👍

Thank you! Really happy....🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Great news JoP61...onwards and upwards as you gently make your comeback!😊xx

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank you! I am definitely going to be taking care not to overdo it to start with - C25K should help me to make that gentle comeback! 🤞😀

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

So pleased for you. Unfortunately the IC is something many of us have experienced as runners so we know how awful it can be not to be able to run. No need to say ‘enjoy your running’ but take it slowly to build up again 🏃‍♀️👏👏

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you! It seems so long since I last had a run - no doubt I will have lost fitness and form, but I'm hoping that C25K will be easier the second time around. Will definitely be taking it slowly! 👍😀🏃‍♀️

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

Fantastic news! 👏👏👏 So pleased for you, Jo. You can enjoy some lovely autumn running now. 😁 x

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Thank you so much - this is definitely good running weather for me - not too hot and not too cold! 😀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Fantastic news! I’m so relieved for you. 😀😀😀

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you - it was good news. The foot feels absolutely fine but you never know what the medics are going to say. Now I can try out all that new gear I've been buying in Decathlon whilst on the IC! 🤣🤣🏃‍♀️

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to JoP61]

Hahaha yes you can at last! I bet you have quite a collection of stuff to try. How exciting. 😀👍👏

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

You're not kidding! I've had to reorganise my drawers! 🤣🤣🤣

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to JoP61]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

Great news to start my day!!!

So pleased for you. Enjoy! 👍🏻😁😘

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

How lovely you are. I am enjoying the feeling of being fully mended! Happy running! 😀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️❤

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Fantastic news JoP! I bet you can't wait!👍😀

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Thank you Jonathan! I am chafing at the bit, but mindful that I will probably need to build up gradually, so C25K is a great way to do it. 😀👍🏃‍♀️

[Bridget007]

Yay 😀 go you 😃😃 I too started again this week and weirdly my legs remembered what to do and I managed to do 4K 😃😃 so weird how addictive this running lark is!!

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Thanks! And well done you - 4K straight off is fantastic! I'm being a bit cautious because I really don't want to injure the foot again, but I did a Week 4 run on the treadmill and it felt fine. Haven't lost all my fitness thankfully. And doesn't it feel fine to be running again?! 😀💪👏👏👏🏃‍♀️

[Bridget007 in reply to JoP61]

It really does feel brilliant to be running again 🏃🏼‍♀️😃😃

[JoP61 Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

👍👍🏃‍♀️😁
