Maybe time can heal all wounds.....
In one of her songs Joni Mitchell coined the timeless proverb "You don't know what you've got till it's gone".
Well now; imagine how good the feeling is, when you get back that thing that you thought was gone.
For the last 431 days there has been something missing in my life. I didn't know exactly what that was until about 30mins ago when I looked down at my watch and saw my stopwatch clocked at 25mins and 25sec's. It represented the time of which I had been running along the StKilda foreshore. A couple of years back I would have just thought.... 'pfffff a short lazy jog'. But not tonight, as tonight it was my first run in about 3 months, but more importantly my first run since May last year that I have completed without any knee pain at all! And if I wake tomorrow without pain or soreness as I believe I will. Then I am on my way to getting back what I thought was gone.
And if I never play or participate in another sporting activity ever again, I will be a happy man, if only I can run freely till the ends of my days....
