Hello Disney runners! I ran for years, ran 3 halfs a 10k and a challenge at Disney and was totally hooked, even if I couldnt quite always afford it and have some healthy issues that slowed me down and made me get injured often.
Last run I did was right before covid hit, did the Princess 10k in 2020and promptly got the flu and spent the rest of the race weekend in the room! Yuck! Anywho...
Covid, injuries, and getting involved in rescue basically derailed my running completely and ate up all my time. I've gained 50 pounds, everything hurts and I feel so old! I want to get back to it but it is so daunting and frustrating to start back at huffing and puffing to try run for 1 minute when I used to run halfs!
Are there any others trying to get back to it or just starting that want to join forces to support each other? I had/have a super awesome group of ladies previously that met up and spent time together and ran at the races and it's so helpful to have the support...but naturally I cant keep up with anyone at this point so need to connect with some people just getting started or back to it!
Anyone else who used to run and lost that path and gained a ton of weight? It's so frustrating to see how far I've fallen.
