If that fails, and a gradual comeback fails, I will likely breakdown and go to a doctor. Thanks for the vibes. Every little vibe helps. :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-27441038652163922912014-02-12T11:26:06.398-08:002014-02-12T11:26:06.398-08:00Dayum look at you Mr Chinup!

Have you gotten it looked at by a PT or anything? I really hope you're able to return to running pain free again soon... Sending good healing vibes to you.

You might struggle when you first start running again, but thanks to muscle memory you'll snap back into fitness rather quickly. Can't wait to run with you again soon!

I have definitely learned the hard way that it makes things even worse if you try to rush back.

Injuries are so frustrating. I do agree that they bring a certain perspective though - they help one focus on other aspects of life.
