I remember when I had had my abdominal operation and told myself to leave running for a month, I automatically ran for a bus right at the end of that month and thought, "Oh, OK then!" (I did make my friend who's a nurse run with my my first proper fun in case my innards fell out). I love your nature pics, too. <br /><br />I've had to make some decisions about my running - turns out I'm not invincible and have run myself into the ground doing 100+ miles a month and increasing it the last few months. Club run in the evening has to go as it was stressing me out for a variety of reasons. Hope you can get running again soon.
