I just wanted to thank you all for your encouraging posts.
I completed couch to 5K Jan 2021, but today finally ran (without stopping!) my 1st 5K.
Many times I thought I’d never do it, but your encouraging advice & posts really helped me continue.
I’m so pleased! I just wanted share it with you!

How are you doing, Liono? Still on the injury couch or back up and running?

Still stuck on the IC unfortunately. Doing the physio exercises religiously and ankles feel ok, but not much different. I keep feeling tempted to try a run but my gut feeling is that it'll just reoccur as I'm still getting twinges.

Oh dear, so sorry you're still on the IC. Rotten luck. Obviously you are doing all the right things so fingers crossed your ankles respond positively soon xx
