Hi! I am coming back to distance running 16 years after nearly being permanently injured and 4 years after having back surgery. I was a competitive xc runner in college and a herniated disc at my L5 took me out my senior year. I’ve done everything possible to get back here and know that it can also be temporary. I signed up for the Nike After Dark half marathon and just hoping my back can survive training and the race. Looking for community and training friends in the DFW.
