AT SOME POINT, we’ve all been there. Maybe you’ve been in a love-hate relationship with your knees. Maybe you wanted to run, but your schedule had other ideas. Maybe you’ve traded your long runs for a little bundle of joy.
No matter what it was that kept you from running, getting back to where you were is hard work. But now that you’re healthy and you’ve made the time, don’t let a lack of motivation be the reason you stay away.
We can’t promise that it’ll be easy. So start small, dust off your favourite runners, and stock up on some music that reminds you why you got out there in the first place. And then, when you’re ready, get back out there and give ’em hell—it’s time for your comeback.
