after taking for granted running and knocking out pbs ranging from 17:57 for 5k to 1h 25 for half marathon the runnign was rolling nicely.
a niggly groin injury managing to not be fully cleared up 5-6months on, means i can fully appreciated the 4miler i just panted through but completed!!
I may not be fully back for a while..this may just be temporary relief..but it feels sogood
Erm...the purpose of this waffle....just appreciate the benefits of running, don't moan about not having motivation,don't worry about not beating pbs, just be thankful you can run full stop.
Whoa I must still be on a post running high!

It's true you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone.
Its great to run though :0). Well done.
Like the rest of you on this thread, I just want to be able to run again! I know I'm not past it, but it feels like that somedays!
Its called getting old. We are I suppose entering early middle age. I will add that I am not 42 for another couple of weeks :0)
I spent much of my early working life as a self employed carpenter then went on to window fitting. That type of work can be really hard on the body (as is all manual work). When I made the transition to an office and desk I thought it would be better. Well it is sort of.
As we get older I think also our bodies take longer to recover. Of course we all think that we can still do what we did when we were 18.
I've had various viruses and illnesses over the past 4 months and it's been very difficult to run.
Only now am I able to get out and run regularly. Just went out and whacked out 3 miles today at high pace, no messing about.
So I know how Steve feels, and would join in with saying well done.
