2007-2009
-Been running 10k from 2007-2009 (3 years)
-Like most dedicated runners, we ran whether it was rain or shine, night or day, weekdays or weekends. hehe

2009
-Sigh. Had a leg injury on September 2009.
-Due to the injury I would feel Pain every-time i ran more than 10 mins.
-The leg also will swell badly, and i'll start limping for weeks. Even hopping up the stairs coz i couldn't climb.


2009-2010
-Went to see a doc. After months of recovery, I alternated between running + resting, but the pain kept coming back.
-Doc told me to give up running. So did my family. Even colleagues told me to stop. Haiz...
-Felt so demotivated so i finally quit running in 2010.

2010-2012
-Been really putting on the extra pounds these past years, omg. Gained more than 8++ kg since i stopped running, haha. Really a fat %%#$ lately, lol... shirt and pants also can't fit dy, sheesh.

Time to put an END to this nonsense, grrr!

2012
-Tried my luck again a few weeks back to run again. Hmm, seems like the injury is totally gone?
-Ran a few times last week just to test. Hmm, seem to be doing fine. Hmm....

-So, I think i'll keep a journal from now on, with today as my Official starting day.

you can alternate between other sport too, i been doing a lot more on swimming / cyclist, and run a little lesser since I am heavy

do intervals, and pack your legs with ice after a run.

you did not say what was the exact nature of your injury.

@roadtorecovery
you run alot, so i'm guessing your leg injury was either an IT band issue or something to do with your general knee area.

could you mention your running style/foot strike, pronation and warm-up routine, if you don't mind.
