Steph you are doing amazing! It can take a year for nerves to recover from GBS so be patient. You are running better than me at this point I am sure of that. I know it’s not nearly the same thing as a neurological disease but after competing in the 2019 Bench Press Worlds I had back to back shoulder replacements and missed 18 months of training. I was very depressed and hopeless about getting back to where I was, plus I’m 52 which doesn’t help. After rehab my bench was weak as crap, but now I’m at 80% of my previous strength before surgery. It’s depressing to look back at my training log from 3 years ago, but I try to focus on my progress. My running is still not too good.

Yep. I’m 60 so age is not on my side. Depression and hopelessness were in full force back in December and January, but I’m feeling good about getting back at it. Baby steps….
