Have faith...long hiatus but I’m back!!

[Val52]

Back in September I developed a problem with my ITB, many physio sessions and excercises for strengthening my glutes - yes that did include squats which I now rather enjoy!! - I was given the ok to run literally just before Xmas, did a couple of 3km runs and then just after Xmas developed an ear infection/perforated ear drum, still not sorted but much better so today despite the rain I went out and did another 3km. Very chuffed that after a whole month of nothing I could still run 🏃‍♂️ The reason for this post is to say to anyone else on the IC or with too much crap going on that they need to take a break from running you won’t lose what you’ve got in the bag. So I may have been up to running 6k before all this but just the fact I can run again is AMAZING...and I only graduated back in May. Have faith people and happy happy running 😁

Welcome back.

Do take it easy getting back up to speed, or you know where you are headed..........and you don't want to go there.

Keep running, keep smiling.
