Back from hip injury

[Lane]

Hi, I am back from a hip injury with newly fitted running shoes and lots of determination. Started back more or less at the beginning because I am so scared of harming myself again. Happy New Year everyone. Lane.

Welcome back Lane! Another one with a good positive attitude for getting back into running for 2013.

I hope your hip is now fully recovered and best of luck as you start your journey again.

Happy New Year to you too!

Very best wishes for a good start back. I've just been and ordered myself a book about Chi Running - don't know much about it, but it sounded interesting, as I know I have poor posture, and I thought it might help me to think about how I run - it's supposed to be very good for avoiding injury, as far as I can gather. (Wikipedia: "quasi-yoga-based style of running that is purported to reduce injury risk".) I am looking forward to reading it (but am very happy to hear any comments anyone might have about it). Just thought it might be of interest to someone coming back to running after injury.

Good luck for 2013 to you Lane, Ed x

WELCOME BACK LANE!! Better to start at the beginning and not risk re-injury, then to push your hip too much. I bet the new trainers will help tremendously! Wishing you a wonderful 2013!!! Gayle
