The Road To Recovery

Posted by myrunninglife on August 11, 2008

On the 14th of June I took a tubmle off a balcony and snapped my collar bone in half and broke 5 ribs. Two of them in two different places. I spent 5 days in hospital before checking out to go home becuase I couldn’t stand being in there anymore. Since then I have been addicted to morpheine, gone through withdrawals, put on 3.5kgs and seen my fitness plummet. My ribs still hurt and my shoulder has no feeling in it. Apart from that I am on the road to recovery. I have had two 5km runs so far:

1. 30:33

2. 29:30

Starting back from zero base is tough. My kness are sore again so I know I have a lot of work in front of me to lose some weight and get back up to running 10km again. So am I commited to documenting my journey and experimenting with some new training techniques. I haven’t blogged for some time now so it should be fun to be able to look back and see how long it takes me to reach my goal: 10km in 45min
