Welcome back then (I presume). Looks like you're off to a flying start. Keep enjoying it, and the journey becomes worth as much or more than the destination. (And it occurs to me that this applies to life in general, too.)

Hi Gary thanks for your post!!!!! Yes I was here last year and got right up to WK 8R3 and I had a foot op which scuppered my runs!!!! I did try again but was unable to do it. BUT I have been told it's OK. So off I went and I really enjoyed it. I did WK1R2 the other day- can't remember exactly but am doing run 3 this morning so I might have cheated and not left a day in between, but I love it so will let you know how I get on later haha

Best regards

Jo

Great! The stories of those who had to give up, but who come back are also inspiring. The end is never certain here, and I don't know, myself, whether I could pluck up th e courage to do it again if things went wrong. ... But of course I would. I would just need reminding of the fact that it's possible to Enjoy running if it happened.

As far as cheating, skipping, etc. You'd know your way through this well enough to adapt it to what you now need. You might even have kept some of that old fitness. The legs just want a bit of reminding, and away they'll go.

Thank you, soon you too will be inspiring others, which already you are by giving it another go. Sorry to hear about your leg issues, those are so annoying. Really hope they're all sorted now.
