April 7th, I injured my back making a simple movement that left me unable to move without assistance.
It’s a partial reoccurance of an injury to 4 discs in my back in 2016 which highlighted also arthris in my hip.
I was given a choice back then regarding possible surgery or exercises that would assist me to continue running. I went on to continue running Marathons and ultra marathons but this particular reoccurance is the second since then and the medical opinion at moment is to stop road running due to the impact on my back. It’s possible TM short runs will be allowable.
I’ve had 11 incredible years running and raising funds for charity and gaining all the benefits of positive chemicals in my brain and body as I turned my life around in 2010 having suffered mental exhaustion working 84 hrs a week.
Luna the black german shepard has been minding me and staying close to me as she can see something is not right with me at moment , dogs are amazing and have great intuition.
Tough decision to be made shortly regarding hanging up my brooks and asics.
I’m resilient and will bounce back from this setback because I am always grateful for my continued ability to walk if I can’t run.
