Ecstacy: The greatest moment of my sporting life!

Now, gentle reader, that I have your interest, you will be wondering what I could have done to be so transported on waves of triumphal pleasure!
Could it be that I have taken 12 minutes out of Treefrog on a OD, wearing nothing but a pair of green flash plimsoles, a pair of Speedos on my head, and riding a clown bicycle?
No, better than that!
Could it be that I have managed to drink godluvsatrier under the table?
Better than that!
Could it be that I have beaten britspin in a "how many malt loafs can you stick in your mouth at once" competition by over 1.73 loaves?
No. Even better than that!
What. Have I managed to shave over 30 minutes off Conehead's record for swimming 25.2 miles through porridge. And, that's microwave hot porridge - so, by the time you get out, you no longer need to wax your legs. Or any where else, for that matter.
No. Even better than that. Even better than tattooing my entire body red..
Could it be that I have managed to press all my work shirts the day before I actually need them, thus both claiming the "World Ironing Man Champion" title, _and_ getting into the missus's good books.
Well, not quite _that_ good, actually.
No, the reason for my delirium is that I have managed to run for the first time since sustaining the injury that I have been whining about since 1st February.
I feel elated. Not being able to run was making me so frustrated I was crying myself awake at night. But, being able to run again, and without pain. 5 mins.. felt good. 10.. great.. pushed that pace a little. Stopped at 15 - didn't want to overdo it. Marvelous.
Will have to see what tomorrow brings, but so far it feels good. I just hope I've not passed on on the batten of pain to Mr Roberts as a kind of belated birthday present.
Now to celebrate with a nice glass of beetroot juice. It's red. But not like wine. At all.

I'll hopefully be feeling the same in a few weeks!
I'll be interested in knowing how quickily the running comes back.....
Good stuff - must feel pretty good to be able to run again.
I'm booked in for surgery yet again and am absolutely dreading not being to do anything.
all the best, and don't push it.
