A near-miss is not a miss
A thigh is just a thigh
The fundamental things remain...

For them as were not previously aware, I have been pretty much off skates all winter since November's bike accident. Having decided the other day that a couple of months not walking further than about 100m a day (I've been commuting by bike, more on this some other time) has given it plenty of time to heal - and given also the observation that it hasn't hurt at all for the past couple of weeks - I decided it was time to get back on skates. So out for the LFNS RC yesterday.

I'm being cautious. It is still uncomfortable when taking the left leg to full extension, and I'm sure that slipping in the rain or doing certain kinds of emergency manoeuvre would b0rk it again, so I'm back in my crossmax just to encourage myself not to get too fast. Five months of no exercise other than commuting to work and the very occasional bike ride has left me not exactly fit for sustained skating speed anyway, though. Sill, good to be out at last.

My recovery notes to me: yesterday I was OK walking back from Liverpool St, today is sore when walking but not actively painful, tomorrow I am thinking it should be OK again. Next planned skating probably Sunday's Bunny Stroll
