Return after 3 months 😱

[Lovethemozman]

I graduated in April - went on holiday - came back and knew something was up. Blood tests revealed that as well as previously diagnosed Hashimoto's, I also have pernicious anaemia. I was started on B12 injections along with folic acid and iron.

I have not run a step since then 😩 I have "drop foot" on my right side along with limited mobility in my lower right arm. My confidence has just disappeared as I am prone to tripping over and am conscious of limping.

I have recently started back to yoga class and I am now keen to get back to running. I am lucky to have my own treadmill as I couldn't contemplate running outside at moment. I plan to start tomorrow and I know how wonderful this forum was when I was doing C25K - sorry for the long post! Happy running to all 🏃‍♀️

Slowwwwww and steady. The gentle exercise will help your drop foot. Maybe hold on to the treadmill’s handrails so you don’t take a tumble. Good luck!
