Charity Challenge Delay until 2011

The picture above does not do the injury justice!! The foot and ankle has actually got bigger but I don't have a camera currently with me to upload a new picture.....I will do shortly!

This was the result of playing football last Monday, whereby I ended up making another unscheduled visit to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Following an X-Ray it was not broken but I did have significant Tendon and Ligament damage!! After seeking further medical advice it was put in layman's terms as worse than a break!! And as the rehabilitation process is going to take some time it is with great dissappointment that I have to delay the Charity Challenge until 2011!!!!

I am currently still using crutches to get around and they are starting to become very frustrating .....and it has only been a week!

So please forgive me reference the delay, but I have now retired from playing football until after the Challenge is completed in 2011. So the new 2010 challenge is on!......that is getting the ankle right and attempting to get even fitter on the bike!!!!

Not a lot else to say as I am so fed up, but please keep reading the Blog for a road to recovery diary!

Thanks.

Blazing Saddles!!

So following on from last Saturday in The Forum, I have had a much better week for training, so aswell as walking the massive 1 mile to my office and the even more massive 1 mile return journey.......I have been on the turbo trainer this week and had a couple of sweaty sessions chasing Lance Armstrong on the DVD screen!!! Could never quite catch him but I was a close second! LOL!! Maybe a picture soon, watch this space.

The Forum & Radio Norfolk

Hi everyone and anyone, well!!! in The Forum yesterday trying to raise the profile and more funds for the MS Society. So I was riding my bike on the turbo trainer and managed 5 hours 20 mins. Plus a very kind radio interview with David Whiteley from Radio Norfolk, who even came down and had a ride on the bike!! Visit the BBC iPlayer to listen again.

Not sure how much money was raised but the Norwich MS Society will let me know more this next week, and a big thank you to everyone who came and donated and took sponsor forms too.

Now back in the mood to do some exercise after yesterdays episode. Big task and very big challenge ahead for all involved but we will do it!
