Oh I really get that you still want to exercise outdoors blueberry, I don’t think that’s unreasonable. We use it or we lose it when it comes to muscles and confidence.
That’s interesting it happened towards the end of exercising, in my case it happened when I was towards the end and tired, I wasn’t picking my feet up I think. These days I won’t run when I’m becoming tired. I don’t know if that is applicable to you too.
I definitely understand wanting to run on smooth surfaces, they recently resurfaced the pathway along our coast and it’s heaven to run on - I can’t wait for them to complete the whole coastal strip, it’ll make a huge difference to my H too.
Great news the dental work went okay and I’ll keep everything crossed that your teeth stay healthy. You’re very brave!
