Still off...

I did try to run ... despite doc saying no - guess what? He was right... :(

So patience, yoga, pool and long walks for me at the moment .

One thing struck me yesterday - one year ago whenever I saw someone running my thoughts would have been something like: "wish I could do that, but maybe not, no, they look like they're suffering too much... far too hard for me" with a mix of envy and smugness...

Not yesterday though - my immediate reaction at seeing two pink ladies running was: "S*** I really envy you lucky ones!..- wish I could be running now!"

In the meantime I just read something that concerns us all :

Love the link, so true as well.

Naughty naughty, you have not been listening to your doc, have you. I suppose you just had to try but are you convinced he is right now? I can imagine how hard it is but look after yourself now and you will heal.

The body is a great healer so I'm sure you won't be on the injury couch for long. Great link and yes I've heard them too! One of my favourites is "won't running give you wrinkles?"

Thanks for posting.
