That's great progress ND, no crutches and stable enough to walk in socks which can be slippery. Don't ask me how I know, but I have the scar from stitches in one eyebrow to prove it:cry:

Its is 2 years ago in a few days. Dragging up this old chestnut of post might seem odd. I am a bit of an Addict so forgive me. Out of a bed. Cool. Out of a wheel chair cooler. Off Crutches [thumbsupbig]Quote:

The boat in the dark at five/six am was in a mud pool with 50cm of water just a mm or two from making me a diver with a recovery rope again I thought before the sun came up[thumbsupbig] The next day I jogged at 8kph for 5km in three parts. The next day I ran a bit faster for 5km and did it again at 5am this morning
Not just able to go fishing. Sorry ladies and gent my sweaty panting grinning scrawny body is back on the road. Despite my waffle, I am finally confident I will be one of the rude runners closing roads for marathons all over Australia and especially Melbourne, Traralgon, Portland and Wangaratta so a special apology for people in those areas who have missed me for the last two years[biggrin]

Happy anniversary to me and my motley crew! 38 years ago today as a 15 year old I joined the Navy. Two years ago today I joined cats in getting nine lives[biggrin]
Ran 10km to celebrate [thumbsupbig]

That’s a long hard road to recover from those injuries. Well done!
Two years! How time flies when you're having fun.
It's remarkable how character and attitude aid recovery from what to some would be catastrophic. Well done James.

But Jesuz you know how to really scare a bloke. When this thread opened on my screen & I saw that greasy looking long haired layabout ^ ^ ^ I was momentarily shocked. No really.
I thought, (for a split second) if that is what coming a gutser of ones sickle does to you...... Then I realised that it wasn't you after all. Pffffffffeeeeeeewwwwwwww.
10 km? That is a bit risky Cap'n, you could have got yourself tangled up in some clown's speeding MC.
For those without a S o H this was a jokey thing, OK?[bigrolf]
Well done on your recovery, hard to believe it has been two years. Your recovery from the Navy might take a bit longer. [biggrin]Quote:

Attachment 177120 My speed guide
Attachment 177121The cheer squad[biggrin] First pass all the cows were all over the paddock. They lined up for the next three times clearly interested in the nuts running along the lane [biggrin]
Attachment 177122 The start at 6:50 am. Tonga's volcanoe still making sun rise amazing for us.
Attachment 177123 30 minutes faster than Melb Marathon Nov 2021. Only need to go one and a half hour fast to get back to my target pace and times[bigwhistle]
First time ever I was last in my age group. Give myself a break on time for a few more months broken bone and lost of muscles still to be rebuilt on the titanium reinforcements in my body[biggrin]
I wasn't last[bigwhistle] Next in a month at Wangaratta. A day or two of walking then back to recovery training for this back duck. Going to change my name tag at Marathons from Navy Diver to I woz or Former Or EX [biggrin] A ex army recon man whose Tee shirt said "WE LIKE TO WATCH" was faster then I am now[bawl] Promise to kick his butt by the end of 2022[bigrolf]
Each step is making me stronger and faster- It does the same for you- Off the couch Ladies and Gents - I may be slow but I am not dead yet[biggrin]

Recovery party last night Ian [thumbsupbig] Mika and I ran 10km. She felt the roos were interesting. It was too dark to get a pic of the three platypus, Tawny frog mouth or the kookaburras laughing at us[biggrin] I even over took a runner or two for fun[bigrolf]Quote:
