Are you running now?

I wish I wasn't having back issues!!!!!
What's the longest amount of time you've been sidelined from running or physical activity? Are you running now? I wish I wasn't having back issues!!!!!
A couple of months due to knee issues. I got back out there and ended up running a marathon afterwards. It was GREAT! I've got to warn you, though...the high that you get from running may start to make you become very irritable if you aren't getting it from another exercise. I almost went into a depression (of sorts) until I realized what was going on.

It's been three years for me.

Every single time I think I'm "cured" and I try to run, I get even sicker. So, now all I can do is walk. It sure is frustrating after knowing what it feels like to run.

But, if I walk I can do more more often. If I run once, it puts me out of commission for all types of physical activity for a long time.

Edit to add: The depression Diva mentions is for real. And sometimes just walking doesn't cut it.

It's been two months without running.

I had my knee repaired last week so I'm probably not running for another 6 months (per the OS) - we'll see...........
