Got the ok from the physio last night to start running again. So obviously that was what I was going to do today.
Just come home from my run and it was hard work but so great. For me, nothing comes close to a run. My day is going to be good no matter what happens for the rest of the day I will of run and that always leaves me feeling accomplished.
That's the thing I get from running the most. For most of my life I've told myself I'm not a runner then four years ago I thought maybe, just maybe I could be. I started this program and haven't looked back. I've been benched from running for 4 months due to a major op and now I am getting back to running. The thing I have missed so much is the mental confidence running has given me.
I felt that old familiar feeling at the end of my run today. I am sure somewhere in the recess of my brain there is a little portion that still says I am not a runner and every time I go out and complete a run it is totally bowled over by the fact I can do this. I still feel proud eveytime I run and I have missed that feeling.
Even your difficult runs are good runs just because you got out there, acknowledge them and feel proud that your still out there no matter how the run goes.
Wishing happiness and health to you all.

Terrific news... and what an uplifting post...you are an extraordinary person... brave, determined and yet so unassuming and unaware of just how awesome you are.
Congratulations on your first return RUN!!! Many, many, many more
I am so happy for you RFC! That's great news. You've been through so much and have been so patient and now you're back π€ Whoop whoop. Enjoy πππ
Absolutely delighted to read this post RFC. It's been a long haul but you're back! Only 9 weeks and you'll be graduating again and the best bit is, you've already done it once so you know you can definitely do it - you just need a bit of practice. Fantastic news xx
Yippee! That has made my day too, RFC! Seriously, reading your post has made me well up - I am so happy for you! π So glad you enjoyed your very special run and let's hope that now you can slowly build up that strength and stamina. Once a runner, always a runner!π
Hooray, she's back! I am so glad you are allowed to run again. And walking again with Mr RFC. Things are going great and it is so good to follow your progress. Welcome back!
Thank you. It is so good to go hiking as well as running. Two things I have missed. MrRfc is getting fitter by the day, I really am having trouble keeping up with him π.
Brilliant stuff RFC! You sound like one very happy bunny! And I totally identify with the feeling of "is this really me out here running?"as I get that nearly every time! You have a strong body and a mind to match! Well done!π
