So ive been stuck on the IC for around a month after my softplay tumble but this week I have been able to walk and run around after my toddler pain free!

So that means ill be rejoining C25k from Monday, I completed week 7 but im going to restart at week 1 to avoid putting too much impact stress on my back too soon.

Excited to join back in again. There are so many new faces πŸ˜€

Sorry to read about your injury - ouch! Glad you are ready to get running again. You may find you can progress more quickly this time to get back to where you were but taking it steadily is a good plan, I think. If it's any consolation, I tore a calf muscle quite badly at week 8 the first time round and could not run for 13 weeks!😩😩 I had to go back to week 1 and build up my strength very gradually. Happily that is all a distant memory and I graduated about 15 mths ago now and LOVE my running. Lots of luck with yoursπŸ™‚.

Good to have you back! Take it easy. The weeks will fly by, you just see. You'll be having a Spring graduation party :)
