Description

I have often encouraged you to "just start" to change habits, begin a new exercise program, start a project, etc.  It's often difficult to resume your physical activities after surgery, injury, or illness, so now I'm giving you tips to "just re-start" to get you back on the roads and trails much faster than simply listening to your doctor's discouraging, conservative timeline.  I began running 11 weeks after rupturing my Achilles tendon (and skied on it even earlier) when the doctor told me I'd be out for 9-12 months.  I resumed running in January after late-October surgery to repair a ruptured quad tendon in my knee even though I was told I wouldn't do anything on it until May - even downhill skiing on it that spring - and then finishing the Leadville Trail 100 that August.  I share with you my ideas to get moving quicker, getting over the fear of re-injury, and specific workouts that might help you recover quicker and get back to doing what you love.
