It is tough, but injury can happen to any of us.

I haven't run for two and a half months..........but I will again when my body is ready.

Patience is essential both in recuperating and getting started again. Injuries are caused by you demanding more of your body than it can handle, so be kind to yourself and slow down.

You will be back.

Take care.
