Right after the crash:
Imagine you have just got out of bed and not quite woken up properly yet. That is pretty much how I am feeling 247 at the moment. I feel in a daze, half there and half not. The severity of the crash and what has happened to me has not really sunk in. I am still thinking that it is race day and my mind can not wind down. This all seems like one big bad dream at the moment. I hope I wake up soon.
1 week after the crash:
I am awake, finally! I have just been to the docs and been given the all clear!! The doctor said I could slowly ease back into training over the next 2 months. This means that I am going to miss pretty much all the races this season though. I’m determined to get back to normal as quickly as possible, and this determination is consuming my every thought.
8 weeks after the crash:
I am back! Just got home after a long weekend in Zermatt. I spent 4 days running up mountains clocking over 11hrs running and climbing over 10,000m. Before this trip I was still feeling stupidly tired for no reason in particular. Out in Zermatt I seemed to feel better with every step and after the 4 days felt well and truly back. OK I still have a way to go before I am back to full fitness but I feel like me again finally after 8 weeks and it is the best feeling in the world. Happy days.
