Dilemma - not sure what to do

I was sooooo close to graduating (week 9 run 3 was the only one left!) when I had to go into hospital for an operation. I am back in work in 2 weeks time hopefully, after having been off for 6 weeks and lifting nothing heavier than a kettle. I want to start my running again but not sure where to begin?

Not exactly the same circumstance, but I was out for 4 weeks with achillies issues, so when I started back I picked a week I was happy with and did a run from that week and if I felt OK moved on to a run from the next week.

So I did a week 1, a week 2 and a week 3 over 7 days and then rejoined the program at week 4

Wishing you all the best in your recovery.
