My Story
I injured my back during the last Spartan Race I did in early November 2019. After conservative methods failed I had surgery performed at the end of December, my back itself seems to be doing much better, however I still have drop foot with my left foot and weakness throughout that leg. This is the first support community I have been able to find, and the most information and hope for running with drop foot that I have found! I am waiting for my first AFO and very eager to get back to running as soon as I receive it 😀 I have begun lifting again and yoga since my surgeon cleared me, listening to my body and being much more mindful than I was in the past.
