Thanks! I'll go back to read on recovery ;-)

That's sort of what Trason said about running. The original words are
"What could be more sensual than paying exquisite attention
to your own body? Sensual counted as romantic, right?"

Your story is very encouraging. Instead of trying to run races,
I joined a local group to motivate myself. As I only started
this year, I'll pay extra attention to injury-free running.
