Well after THREE months off because of a serious injury ... Broken tibia having been in a full leg cast and only one little tester run eight weeks ago thought I'd dust off the trainers and head down the gym ... I may well have put half a stone on :( but I only went and walked / ran 5k in 30 minutes with no ill effect and could have done more EASY ! I'm back yippieeeeeee

Really well done. Great achievement. I guess our bodies remember more than we give them credit for!

Well done. Congratulations. Don't go too mad though will you. Take it steady! I think it must have been a bit scary getting back to exercise after a break, so you must be feeling very happy indeed.

Blinking heck - I can run for a whole 30mins & not reach 5K. That must be a good feeling.
