Well about a month ago I started my 12 month MdS training plan... week 1 consisted of 5 x 25 min runs with a back pack. Well on the 5th day after my run I decided to go out snowboarding we had 2 feet of snow in 24 hours and it was a great end to the season. Until... I had rather a bad accident. Well technically someone had a bad accident on ME. I was videoing my friend go off a jump but somehow it all went wrong and he landed on me (I was kneeling on the floor) and did some very bad damage to my legs.
It has taken me until now to (almost) recover. I couldn't even really walk for the first week and after two weeks I managed to start cycling which seemed to do my legs a lot of good. Finally two days ago I managed a ten minute run through the desert lands of Fruita. Today I managed 35 minutes. I am not going to push it so I am just taking it slowly but it has been immensely frustrating. I still have a fair amount of scar tissue but each day it recedes slightly.
We are now coming up to the last couple of days in Colorado so we are busy packing up the house and tying up all our loose ends. We are going on a ten day road trip starting here and stopping in Moab, Goblin Valley, Bryce Canyon, Gooseberry Mesa, Zion and finishing up in Salt Lake City where we will fly home to Manchester from.
I'll put up our photos of the trip as soon as we touch down in the UK.
