July 12 - the day of the fracture
August 23 - 6 weeks after the fracture
I ran for 20 minutes on the treadmill yesterday, getting down to 7 min/mile (or 4:23/km). It felt pretty smooth, but it will definitely take some time to get back to the rhythm I had going into Knee Knacker. Many people asked me if it was difficult to be at the ENDURrun and not run, but it wasn't because there was no way I could run at that time. I can see that it is going to increasingly difficult to be patient over the next few weeks because I am starting to feel good almost all the time. There is still some dull pain while I am running, but walking is completely normal, so I will stay with the Turbulence Training and the treadmill for the next little while, biding my time until I can get back into full training.
And for those that are interested, registration for the ENDURrun 2009 is now open. When I did it in 2006, there were 5 of us. Two days after opening the registration there are already 4 people! There is a cap of 50 this year, so don't delay!

Ahhh...velly intellestink.
Reminds one of what millions of people were able to view using a device known as a "Shoe-fitting Fluoroscope" during the 30's, 40's and 50's--even as late as into the 70's in Canada. This link shows a picture and gives a description of the device: http://www.orau.org/ptp/collection/shoefittingfluor/shoe.htm
Just imagine letting your little 8 year old Johnny stare at his feet in real-time x-ray mode from 5 to 45 seconds at a time! Whee! Look at this mommy! It is a wonder that a whole generation of people haven't had their feet fall off by now.
In further news, glad to hear the healing is going so well. And I see Trev is proving the old adage that once a right coaster, always a right coaster.
