Sarah – Great to hear you were able to get back running again.

I wasn’t able to run for a year and a half, so I know how you feel! The good part is that your body does have a memory and building back those miles once you’re ready won’t be that difficult. Focusing on what you are able to do, or areas you’ve neglected, is a good thing.

@Blaine – Great to hear you are back going strong!
@Dylan – Happy healing with that collar bone.
@Mark – I am sure this down time will be good for my entire body but I miss my endorphin buzz.
@Mike – Yes…soon.

Dave — I’ve been there before w/my IT Band. One day you feel invincible and running well and then you get an injury that stops you down. The good news is that this is temporary. You will heal. And you will be back better than ever. I look forward to getting together for a run soon!

Sometimes it’s good to take a step back – I’ve found I invariably come back refreshed. Your head does play the old “how did I ever run that distance” trick with you though

I broke my collar bone a month ago and am stuck taking long walks or riding a stationary bike. I know in the long run it won’t mean that much but it sucks right now.

I know how you feel…after I broke my foot last Summer I had to take 45 days off completely and didn’t start seriously training again for a good 3 or 4 months.

There’s an end at some point, though, and you’ll be back to your 5 hour trail runs.
