Greetings,

Been a while, but things are going well, I have my good days and bad days, but the recovery overall is speedy.  I am still working to get muscle strength back in my calf, but my range of motion and flexibility has come back fully.  The Physio was amazed at how fast this came along.   I am now doing a Beginners running schedule, which has me doing this week, running 2 minutes and walking 1 minute.  I can cover about 2.25 miles in 30 minutes that way. Only about a mile short of normal in regular runs.   I have purchased a bike, and get out 3x per week, longest ride to date has been 21.5km,  I am building up to ride 40km.

I am setting my sites on participating in this years 10Km event as part of the marathon weekend in august, doubt I will be able to run the whole distance, but would love to run/walk it in 75 - 80 minutes. (have been known to run it in less than an hour).  Next year we are planning the Maui Marathon still.  I guess the worse part is I can now tell if it is raining or not without having to look outside, and by the end of the day, the limp is much more then early.  But heck got a new job, just bought a new Condo life is good.

Cheers

Harry
