Just take it easy. The most important part of a comeback is consistency. Pushing yourself too hard or focusing on performance might discourage you. It's the time to fall back in love with the sport ! Like Sin Surfer said, keep plugging away. Eventually the fog will clear !

A good nap in a warm bed heals me right up.<br /><br />Fortunately, I am barrel-chested and make a lot of core heat, and am totally recovered now for 20+ yrs, but it still throws a scare into me when it happens. <br /><br />Difficult for me to see you this way, as I know how much you are suffering. Keep plugging.

Being sidelined from running since mid October has been a drag, especially with my first full marathon scheduled for May 15th! However, keeping up doing the kettlebells has kept my cardio in great shape. I've just started back to running and only am allowed 1/4 mile at a time. UGH, but it's a start and I hope to quickly get back to some long runs! I have to keep the feet stress-fracture free! At least for the next 6 months!<br />Sounds like your training is shaping up nicely! Don't be so hard on yourself! I know, easier to say than do.....Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677754284276322596noreply@blogger.com
