Progress Report

Three weeks after previous post and I can walk with limp, but the ankle area is getting stronger, so the limp is disappearing.

While walking around the house or jumping out of a moving vehicle - no - hang on....jumping out of a vehicle to say drop a letter in the mail box or whatever or run across the driveway is fine and dangly. So little jaunts to answer the phone or knock on the door are fine too. In fact, I ran 2 x 5:00 min on a dreadmill. Sloppy and slow, but I could do it. Yay. This week the progress has been more rapid than the previous three weeks, where I felt as though not much was changing.

Next Surgery date is February 2nd. Although I prefer NOW, there is a positive spin on the Feb 2nd date. If I want to ski, roller blade, run, cycle etc, I can start to do this and get a little fitter. The date of February 2nd isn't all that bad. Just four to five weeks later than hoped. My projected ETA of running daily sometime in the summer is still on.

I was perusing Go Daddy dot com, looking for a domain name for a site to house my many articles and interviews that are scattered around the internet and in some print publications. I came across www.athleticsillustrated.ca www.athleticsillustrated.com and .net and .blog.

Sort of an auspicious name for a shit kicker from Victoria, like me. But what the heck.

Check out my latest interview with Geoff Martinson, Canadian 1500m specialist, looking to qualify for the 2012 London Olympic Games, by running a 3:35 time. Tough row, to hoe!
