back running - ๐Ÿ˜Š- albeit very slowly

I had completed C25k (Just) Dec 2019 but had since had C19 (the original and best ๐Ÿ˜– Jan 2020) and long covid . Subacute thyroiditis last year (nearest way to explain is a virus-induced exploded thyroid with hormonal overload then underproduction)

NOW Iโ€™ve re-started c25k and am Loving it!!!

I canโ€™t express how great it is (at 68) to be running again and feeling that post-run buzz

I have so much gratitude to be able to be back here at last ๐Ÿ˜Š

Goodness that's a nasty sounding episode you had! Welcome and good luck, from another re-starter (I've restarted more times than I can remember, and here we go again!) You'll find there are quite a few of us who are going again after injury, illness, or just life stopping us before. Good luck to us all ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ€

Thank you . Yes- โ€˜life stopping usโ€™ is a good way to put it!

I canโ€™t believe how good I feel after a bit of trotting ๐Ÿ˜‚. Good luck to you too ๐Ÿ˜Š
