I'm back! (slowly)

[Ladyidle]

An ankle/foot injury in November put me on the IC for longer than anticipated. I thought I'd give it a week's rest, but it turned into a niggle that refused to go away. After a couple of false starts, I got back on the programme a few weeks ago and today ran for 30 minutes. Hoorah! 

I sulked for the first couple of months, but then started to lurk on here because I missed you all - it's amazing how many new names are on the forum and lovely to see so many old friends too. I took all the advice about running sloooowly, and it paid off -  today I feel like a real runner again.  Now I just need to build up the speed again...

Thanks, Floss! Hope you are soon back on your feet. Meanwhile, enjoy the rest!

Good to see you back and sounding so upbeat too. We never think, when we start running, that it's going to take such a hold.

Running makes me sound upbeat - except when I'm actually running. I dread to think what I sound like then!
