My 1 Year runniversary

Itโ€™s officially 1 year today since I started running with the Couch to 5k app. My longest run so far has been 4 miles ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Sadly Iโ€™m celebrating from the injury couch, willing the bursitis in my hip to get better and doing strength exercises. Send me your best thoughts please, I havenโ€™t run since the start of December, apart from a 10 minute test run that sent me back to the IC ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ญ

Well Happy Runniversary anyway! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ Sorry to hear about the IC experience, but hang in there. And all that strength & flex is building up insurance against any future problems. Weโ€™re part of the same C25k cohort, so I know you will get there - we are a strong bunch!

Oh no Jill! The couch is getting a bit crowded, I'm on it too ๐Ÿ˜ฌ but that's ok, we'll do our exercises and we'll get back out there fitter and stronger ๐Ÿ’ช

Sorry to hear about the injury but happy runniversary any way. The fact that you're frustrated with not running + still posting on here proves you've been bitten by the running bug, you'll soon be back out there stronger than ever. ๐Ÿ‘

Sorry about your injury, especially on the runiversary of C25K, not a nice place to spend it, however, you can look forward to the day that you start running again, you may for safety reasons have to rerun some of the runs, that depends on how long you are off running.

If it's about 3 months, week 3, longer than 6 months, rerun C25K, hopefully it won't be that long and rerunning the whole course won't be necessary, good luck. ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks AlMorr, and thanks for the advice on where to restart, I had been wondering how to tackle it ๐Ÿ˜Š

Oh bursitis! Horrible. Had it years ago. Eventually acupuncture (On the nhs) and swimming crawl cured it. It was a bit of a long haul so I sympathise!

Thank you! Yes itโ€™s definitely taking itโ€™s own sweet time to go away. I think itโ€™s on itโ€™s way out, I just need to resist the temptation to rush back out for a run as soon as it stops hurting ๐Ÿ˜‚

Keep working on it.

The IC is not a nice place to be........said the seemingly permanent resident.
