Itโ€™s that brilliant C25k training & the go slow ๐ŸŒ mentality that has given me this joy ๐Ÿ˜€

Thank you! I see you are being very wise! You will back out there before you know it! You are also a good example to me with the exercise & yoga!!

Thank you too! ๐Ÿค— Iโ€™ve been enjoying the strengthening exercises and yoga, although I havenโ€™t been that great at it ๐Ÿ˜‚. That will keep me in an active routine in the meantime. I guess thatโ€™s the silver lining. I probably wouldnโ€™t have started doing them if it wasnโ€™t for those niggles ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜‚. โค๏ธ
