Zee 0 #1 August 29, 2004 After spending nearly seven months on the couch and doing rehab for my jacked up leg, I went hiking today. I live right on top of a place called Cougar Mountain and until today, I haven't had the opportunity to really go outside and check it out. I woke up this morning and my leg didn't hurt so I thought I'd see how far I could jog - Well, the jogging thing didn't work too well, the impact is still a wee bit too hard for my shin but I found that walking at a brisk pace worked just fine. So, I figured I'd see how far I could go before my leg swelled up like a balloon animal. I made it almost 8 miles - I drank fresh water from a waterfall, saw more deer than I can count, and I ran in to a black bear. Luckily he seemed pretty scared of me (he probably saw the scar on my leg). And on the way back from my little excursion, I ran in to a purdy little cowgirl who let me pet her horse - As an extra bonus I managed to arrange a date to pet the owner of said horse, tonight If everything works out with my x-rays this week I might just find myself back in the air by Saturday.

Whoa there tiger. Think about that a bit more. Maybe you should just go pet some horse owners for a few more weeks? Seriously, if you can't jog on it, don't try and jump on it.It's your life, live it!

Zee 0 #4 August 29, 2004 No arguments on petting the cowgirl - It sure beats the hell out of petting kittens I probably didn't phrase that whole jogging thing correctly - I did manage to jog for about 1/2 mile before it began to hurt, and I didn't push it any further than that. I'm still waiting for my x-rays on Thursday to determine if the final break in my Tibia has closed completely. If not, well, I guess I'll just have to wait a while longer but, at least now I know that I can endure some form of impact and that I can actually run, even if it's only for a short distance. I ain't gonna do nuttin' stupid Once I feel ready, I'll jump. But, it sure does feel good to know that it won't be that much longerPeace, Z Action©Sports Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been stuck in here so long I'd resorted to just petting them. There's not that many kittens left around here so I figured it would be best re-use the ones I had a few times before givin'em the final death blow Action©Sports Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
