Really happy to be running again although it is hard going. Had 4 weeks off with broken ribs and chest infection. Did absolutely nothing since graduation at Xmas. Started at week 5 again, just completed w7r2. It was windy/hail/dark. I ran like a snail, but even better than going out is the feeling when you get home. Its fab and so worth the effort. My family think i'm bonkers but i'm happy.

Oh you poor thing! That’s a double whammy, broken ribs and a chest infection. 😳 Hope you are feeling much, much better now. To be back out running again must be such a joy after all that! Well done.👍

Good to see you back at it. I know you tried to keep going, but you really had no option but to rest up.

Feels good to get going again doesnt it

Sorry about your injury and chest infection Tippyrunn, but I am glad that you are now back to running.

So your family think you are bonkers, o dear, you should ask them to start C25K so they can run with you, my family, especially my daughter is very proud of me, she helped me with getting the barcodes printed, however, she asked me never to run any longer than a 10K, I promised her that I will never run anything longer than a 10K.
