Hey Salties!

I'm on week 4 of the stamina program and it has been so freeing to run again for the first time since having both my boys (ages 4 & 1). I grew up playing soccer and was an athlete my entire life but my knees have been out of the game for a while and I am hurting not gonna lie... is this normal? Send any recovery tips or advice that will help me help incorporate running back into my weekly routine long term because my mind and body love it so much!

I've pushed pause instead of pushing through for now (listening to my body is new and challenging) but have opted for low impact replacements like biking on run days and trying to strength train my legs to help take pressure and pain out of my joints. All other encouragement and suggestions welcome, thank you for this beautiful place to finally feel like myself again 🫶🏼
