Will I ever get past week 7 again?...

Hello all! Well, after getting comfortably back in my stride for now the 3rd time at week 7 since my knee trouble at week 8 back last November, I got knocked out with a cold that as usual aggravated my asthma and left me with a chesty cough for the past few weeks. Seems better this weekend so will try a trot out tomorrow evening and see what happens, sometimes feels as if I'm destined never to get past week 7 again 😏

Still, 25 minutes is better than none 😊

Love reading everyone's posts! I often just lurk but they're always a source of inspiration 😊

Happy running πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I know how you feel. I'll be getting nervous when I approach week 8, which is where my knee stopped me in December. Good luck!

How funny, sounds like we both got to the same stage around the same time before! Good luck to you too 😊

After the knee I had an unrelated back problem, so it took a while of strengthening all over before I could start again. Feeling good now though, if a bit nervous.

Yikes! Sounds painful but good to hear you're back on track πŸ‘πŸ» I know what you mean about the week 8 nervousness, fingers crossed we both get past that hump this time round! πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I am sure you will be fine tomorrow but will wish you good luck nonetheless.
