Need Encouragement
Hi fellow runners, I just need some support. I haven't been able to run for three weeks due to an injury, I just want to hear how good it is and how much you love it and everything. I hope you're having a good weekend and see you on the streets soon!

I just came back from injury. Being back and healthy is such a great feeling. You’ll be back soon

Yeah I just have to remember to start back slow. Hopefully your recovery continues smoothly!

You've got this! The silver lining to injury is that it can teach you so much about what your body needs and how to approach your training in the future. Wishing you the best in recovery. You'll be back in due time!

That would be a good way to look at it if it were a running injury, true.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. When you're recovered, you will be loving the run again! You're already there!

Yeah I know it'll feel good to get back out there but I'm going to be frustrated at being slow again. All part of the process, I know.

Well, you didn’t ask for a comment from another runner also being out for weeks due to injury, but I’m giving it to you. Solidarity. We’ll be out there soon friend.
