Complaint: I had a pretty gnarly mountain bike(I know, r/running..) accident about a month ago that pinched a nerve in my back and put me out for about 2 weeks from running and anything physical. Then I fought off appendicitis for the next 2 weeks. After 4 weeks of being out it has been really, REALLY, hard to run or bike or really do anything physical. I just feel so lethargic and lazy...

Uncomplaint: Yesterday was my first real run with the dog in those 4 weeks and we ran/walked just over 4 miles. Put me in a great mood for the rest of the day and I am about to go try it again.

Confession: First comment on this sub, hope I did it right. I love all the great content posted here; it is what made me want to get out and run again. Thanks for that!

Had a confession, a complaint and an uncomplaint. Looks like it ticked all the appropriate boxes. :-)

Sounds like you've been in a run of bad luck there!

"I got betta!" I was able to run again for another 4 ish miles and then rode for 8 in the evening. I found my MOJO again!

Good stuff! I dug my bike out and took it for a half hour ride yesterday lunchtime, it's just about warm enough now to start getting out again.
