Good luck and hope you stay injury free! I am just getting back to running after a nasty calf tear at week 8 (although it actually happened at work! ) was out for 10 weeks and still taking it slowly.

Thank you Sandra, Blimey 10 weeks :(

I was so pee'd off as it was going so well. But your right I'll take it easy :)
