Ready to restart and need your advice

I started the program in July and made it to Week 8 Run 2 when I badly injured my pelvis. I have completed my physical therapy and am about 95% recovered. I would like to restart the program and achieve my goal of finishing Cto5K and successfully running in a 5K race, albeit slowly.

My question is at what point should I resume? I don't feel like I should go back to the very beginning but clearly can't pick up where I left off. Any advice you have is most appreciated!

I've started right at the beginning (taking it easy on the knee which was injured). It feels a little odd to be doing such short runs again, though. I think it all depends on your individual circumstances. Maybe ask your GP or physio? xxx
