No more running for me 😭

I am absolutely gutted that I'm not going to be able to run for a while. Torn ligament. I would never have thought that I'd be able to run for 30 seconds never mind my next run would have been a full 5 mins (gulp). It amazes me how quickly I got addicted to it. Oh well I guess it's rest and physiotherapy for a while then I'll be back on here. I'll be doing some sit down workouts in the meantime.

Oh no! What a shame. But missing it is good. Just ease yourself back into it when you have recovered. Soon enough, five minutes will be easy- peasy!

Thanks. Right now feels like I'm not going to walk again nevermind run. Feeling a tad bit dramatic today 😁

You'll heal. Now is the time for lots of self care in other ways- exercising mind- muscles is also good!

Think of it as "patience training" in that case. πŸ˜‰ it worked for me πŸ’ͺ😁

Check out Caroline Jordan's hurt foot programme on you tube. Lots of seated and non weight bearing workouts. She'll drive you nuts with her positivity but she's actually fab and a big help when you're really struggling

Gutted for you... but your attitude is spot on... heal well and keep that fitness as high as you can
