W1R1 - Back to the beginning

But excited to be there, and managing to complete W1R1, less than 6 weeks after I broke my left shoulder and right hand. During the first two weeks after the break I never thought I"d be able to walk properly again, let alone run. I was about to do W5R3 when the accident happened, and thought I might have to go back to maybe W3, but realistically W1 is the only option, and even then my shoulder isn't thrilled about it. But I did it, and it felt fantastic to be back out there with Michael (I missed him).
