Elated

I can’t believe it, but I’ve done it!

I started C25K last year never really thinking I would get to the end. I surprised myself as it didn’t take long for me to start enjoying it. Unfortunately I suffered a stress fracture in June 2019 and then winter set in....

I started again 12 weeks ago and I am very proud to say I have run W9R3 tonight.

Glass of wine for me tonight I think 😍

Fantastic Tracey! That's what you call coming back after injury in style! Congratulations 🥳. I thought I hadn't heard from you for a while 😊 so welcome back!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Dolly-dot, you have been with me since the beginning. To be honest the stress fracture broke my spirit for a bit, but I am stubborn and fought back 💪🏻 I really appreciate your advice and support, you have been the voice on my shoulder! How is your running going?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

So lovely to have you back on here. I was so frustrated last year when I got into week 9 and then had to stop for 6 months due to injury. We are the come-back kids!

I consolidated in March, just as the lockdown started and IannodaTruffe gave me the title of the first graduate of the lockdown! Since then I have been consolidating, but had a break of 3 weeks due to shin splints. I did a gradual return after that to prevent further problems and am now working towards my first 5k, which I hope to achieve on my next run 🤞🏼 and then work towards 10k. I'm happy going at my own pace.

Good luck with consolidating - sign up to the June Consolidation Club if you haven't done already - great advice and support there.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Great advice as always. Good luck with the 5k and eventually 10k 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Well done!!! Lovely to hear your set backs didn't put you off completely. Hope you get many happy runs under your belt now and go from strength to strength 💪💪🏃🏃
