Will I be able to run again?

I’ve been laid up for two weeks now, after getting to WK2 R1

My Dr. Believes I’ve damaged my Bursa? I’m off to get blood test today to see if there’s an infection :(

Will I ever be able to continue, currently I can even walk far..feeling sad!

🤔Jezpa those runs will wait for you!! Your first priority is to follow your doctors orders & get rid of the infection.

Meantime read 📚 up all the advice on the pinned posts for new runners & about preventing injury. There is lots to learn and lots to inspire you.

You will need to start from scratch again once Dr gives you the go ahead. Many of us had to do this. Keep positive, keep hydrated and keep reading! You will soon be back out there again!! 👍🌈
