After several weeks on IC and a couple of attempts at running again I finally managed an enjoyable, comfortable W1 R1 this morning. A few weeks ago I tried W5 R1 having graduated in September. Thought it would be fine but I ended up limping home in agony with miserable pain in L knee and both buttocks. It was obviously too much too soon!
So I've decided to start from scratch and hope I escape any more injuries.
I've finally realised that it doesn't matter how far or how fast I go. I'm simply going to enjoy it.
Reading this forum has been a real life saver during the weeks when I couldn't run. Can't wait for Tuesday morning 🤗

That’s the spirit... run for fun! You know you can do this, and you’re probably impressed how much easier it is second time round. Have a good rest period and enjoy Tuesday.
Good for you! Glad it’s working out for you again.
I used to belong to a running group and they had a saying ‘finish upright and smiling’. Whether I’m running in an organized run or running from home I always just want to finish upright and smiling because the alternative sucks! How fast or slow really does not matter.
You can't imagine just how relieved I am to be running again, especially as I'd only just invested in a pair of Hoka One Ones! I was wondering if I'd ever get my money's worth 💰💰💰
