After a great weekend at Limbpower games, an event for amputee's and people with limb difference to meet and try a range of different sports from canoeing, to badminton, seated skiing, to wheel chair basketball and many others, I had a one to one session with a young running coach. I just went out and put what I learnt from Lincoln and his team, into practice, see results in the picture . So now it's my fitness level holding me back and not my prosthetic leg, so I'm going to restart the program from week 4 to really improve my running 😀💪👍

I love reading your posts Pete - they are so positive and motivating. Plus you sound really upbeat and happy - never obviously phased by a set back and constantly looking for new ways to move forwards. Cheering you on and hoping some of that attitude will rub off on me through the ether!

Hi farsouthwest, there are a couple of reasons I stay mainly upbeat, they are, the fact I have great support from the amputee community especially Limbpower, the other is I'm to darned daft to know otherwise 😜, I do have down moments but I have always been taught to look for the solution. Sending positive vibes to you.

They've arrived! Thank you! (Looking for solutions is certainly a mantra worth adopting too...)
