On the plus side, I've probably found myself a wicked six pack from vomiting recently.

I'm sick atm, but very aware of the fact that I owe a couple of runs here.
Ahh no worries. Your health > then this race :). I hope you get better soon mate :D

Okay, had a bit of a break for various reasons.

Ran ~3.25km the other day, and ~4km just then. Much slower than the ones posted here, but progress overall. Hoping to build to ~5km next run and go from there.

I am determined to get back to where I once was.

5.12km today. I didn't fancy running in tomorrow's 41 degree heat, but didn't think that today would also be freakin' scorching.

Happy - was also slightly quicker than my run the other day. Next goal: 6km.

Any progress from where I was at is good progress, haha.

Really impressive! Progress is progress.

As someone who had to learn how to walk and run again after surgery last year and will have to do so again soon, distances like these seem like a marathon to me haha.
Keep on soldiering on, Nick!

Tried a morning run. Hit my next two goals in one go. Ran 7.01km. Slow as all buggery, but honestly, speed was never my strength - even at my peak.

Pros: happy with my progress, feel less physically stuffed than I did after my very first run in this thread.

Cons: don't want to go too hard, too early, which is very typical of me. Go back to work tomorrow, so will have to make time.

You're making crazy progress and I'm really enjoying reading these updates Joseph41! You've actually inspired me to work on my own fitness (that was destroyed by year 12 last year) and set my own running goals. Absolutely awesome, keep it up! :)

I came home from work today and immediately went for a run (well, actually, after a banana). I don't know what's happened to me, but I like it.

I ran 8.07km. I feel I could have pushed the 10, but one of my toes on my left foot is pretty bloody sore, and my calves were starting to tighten.

That said, I'm just absurdly happy (and relieved) that my body seems to be holding up. As per the opening post, I had a lot of injuries from like 2009-2014, and then basically just stopped doing anything as a result. One specialist said I'd never be able to play competitive sport again when I was like 16 (I think it was huge hyperbole, but definitely spooked me). So yeah, this is pretty great for me.

I feel like mental health can only improve as a result.
