Well I did it. I jogged 10k around Tatton Park this weekend. Actually, I was so nervous about doing it that I did the 5k event last weekend too as a run through.

Thank you. My recurring nightmare/premonition that I'd cross the finish line to find everyone else had gone home didn't come true. *g*

And although I'm still in a state of euphoria and disbelief at the moment, I feel really guilty and can't help but feel for you. A few weeks ago you did rfl. It's surreal. One minute you're going about your normal life, the next you're facing 10 weeks of casts and physios etc. It doesn't seem fair. But I *know* that you're a fighter and you'll be back Nordic walking with the best of 'em at next year's rfl. ;-)

Me and my next door neighbour have made a pact that we'll both do the RFL next year so I've got that to aim for. I really loved doing it this year so I desperately want to get back walking again. And yeah re the "one minute you're going about your normal life" thing. Sigh. I just never thought how quickly and easily a person's life can get derailed like this!
