Back on course...

I was doing great until the weekend before Christmas then my back went. Running wasn't the cause as I was on a rest day, it was in fact a too soft bed whilst visiting relatives. So for the next week and over Christmas I was restricted to using chair backs to get round graduating first to short then longer walks.
Started the first run back at wk1 run 1 on Jan 4th and built up again from there with one run from each week up to wk 4 then followed the full programme for week 5 and have just completed wk 6 run 1 which puts me exactly where I was before the injury.
The back is feeling pretty good but legs feeling very heavy particularly calf muscles but feeling good that I'm back on track. So anyone in a similar position with injury, build back slowly but do make a start it is really easy to put off and put off again.
Cheers
