Wow, you must be feeling great. Good luck, Rockette, you will soon be up to speed, but do you know what caused your injury? Definitely worth avoiding, next time round. Those of us of... ahem...more mature years... do need to remember that although we might feel 25 again, our bodies need to be treated with respect, especially after the years of abuse that we (may) have subjected ourselves to. Good luck.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Oh so true iannodatruffle good advice as always. physio told me not properly warming up & stretching & also doing too much too soon . Was probably the reason . Well lesson learned & I will follow all his advice to the letter .

Heya, good luck! I just restarted again after a 2 month break to injury. I've done one run of week 1, one of week 2 and one of week 3. I'll keep stepping up so long as the runs are OK, but I'm planning on doing all runs of week 5 and 6. OH and doing lots of stretching after runs and on non-run days.

Rockette, what fabulous news! I'm so glad for you after what must have seemed like the most interminable wait. I'm out of action for a few months now so you'll have to be running for me now and then I'll be back at the beginning again ,too! So, don't forget to take it easy and do all the stretches etc. Oh, and have you invested in one of those roller thingies as well?!!!! Enjoy!
