So 17 weeks have past since I broke my ankle.
👣
Was originally told I would be in cast for 13 weeks and probably wouldn’t be back doing anything for 6-9 months.
👣
Well I was out of the cast/boot after 7 weeks.
👣
I’ve been back walking without crutches since the end of May. To start with this was not only slow 🐌 but also very short distances and I’ve walked every day since. The muscle wastage and the ankle needs to be strengthened.
👣
Over the weeks I have built both the distance and increased the speed. I not back to either full speed and my distance was up to 6 miles until last week.
👣
Nijmegen well clearly I was never going to do this event, under consultants orders. But decided to set myself a challenge of 10km each day. So each morning I walked with Jane a short distance as she started her 30km and then turned back to head back to Nijmegen.
👣
Day 1️⃣ I walked my biggest distance and did 7.73miles (made me smile as the same time last year both myself & Lucy were doing 7 Ultras in 7 Days). As you can probably guess that changed the goal 🥅. Day 2️⃣ 7.7, Day 3️⃣ 7.78 & Day 4️⃣ 7.79……giving me a total of 31 miles (50km the same distance we did each day last year).
👣
So to those who assumed I would give up…..how wrong the were.😂
