Breaking My Spine (Part 2)
(Hey…if you missed the preamble and context here and are thinking, ‘what the hell is going on here?’ then, have a look at Part 1)
‘So, Mr Pain. It appears that the break is healing although not fully back to rights. I hope you’ve been adhering to my recommendations for complete rest?’
‘Well, yes…for the most part’
‘Ok then, I suggest, before I make any further recommendations about your upcoming event, that you do some light training and then we can reassess.’
‘Ok, I’ll do just that. Thanks!’
So, that weekend my good buddy and I set out to climb a one of the highest Munros in Scotland, in the snow, ascending in darkness. As one does.
It’s ok, we’re not morons, we planned out our nutrition for such an endeavour and made sure to respect the mountain and its inherent dangers.
(Note – I should say that, despite all this silliness, I’m very well aware of the dangers of mountaineering and although the evidence says otherwise, we were actually sensible and careful…for the most part.)
And so began my attempt at salvaging my attempt at the double of The Spine Race and The Arc Of Attrition. We were back and, now we had a whole 7 weeks to prepare for nearly 400 Miles of running!
*GULP
So, how on earth do we start? Well, fortunately for me, the team at CHP had been on top of everything up to here. Although I hadn’t been able to use my leg, I had been able to keep CV conditioning up to a certain degree and my base in that regard was overall very good having been attended to throughout rehab. Some measure of strength endurance work (with a little obvious restriction) had also been looked after via work in the gym. Unfortunately for me, the parameters for degradation of each of these elements worked against me somewhat being that overall aerobic capacity and strength endurance, once laid down from an athletic perspective, will take longer to ‘detrain’ than direct sports skill training which can probably be regarded as our most important factor and can degrade relatively fast.
By which I mean, the one thing I hadn’t done was actually ambulated anywhere without a ruddy great moonboot on for the better part of 5 months!
Now, you may be reading this and thinking, ‘wait, ultimately all this guy has to do is run/walk so surely the skill element is covered under the banner of just being a human being?’
Well, no. Not really.
Sure, If all I want to do is walk and run for a bit without any other issues to worry about then I might be ok but I want to continue doing so for an inordinate amount of time and the accompanying distance so really, I want to be as efficient and strong as possible, which requires practice. I mean, how many of us have seen folk stumble over the finish line after a half marathon looking like they’d been attacked by a gang of randy bears a mile or so back? Now multiply that distance by 30 and consider the bears to have been just released from a penitentiary!
If we add to this the fact that I’ve been walking for a huge portion of the year with a wild limp and an offset caused by carrying an injury and wearing a moonboot then, I’ve actually been practicing walking with an extremely altered gait (good name for a band?) for a considerable timeframe.
So, we set off for the hills again! Walking for a couple of hours at a time to start with then pushing the pace and adding in some trickier terrain and extra load.
It’s at this point that the aforementioned altered gait (copyrighted) becomes an issue and I start to experience a little discomfort in my left leg.
*Just to bring you back up to speed, it was the right leg that was broken and in the moonboot meaning the left has been doing all the work for months. You may remember though that this leg is an absolute mess and had all that surgery all those times on it. I know, right!
Yeah, that stupid leg has been in charge and chooses now to start staging a protest. I can push through but it’s really starting become bothersome and pain has referred to the left tib ant causing ankle flexion to be a problem.
So, I have to rest. At maybe 3 weeks to go and I need to rest. Clearly, I also need to make a decision.
This is where having a great team around you and, most importantly the counsel of those who know and love you, becomes vital.
Despite having been injured, I’ve pointed everything at this event for the last year and I don’t want to pull out but, I’m too close to this and need to seek the advice of my coaching team, the surgeon, the event staff themselves and (of course) my family.
The coaching team are careful and must take everything into consideration so, after discussions, we agree to review when I’ve spoken to the surgeon and the event team.
The event team are practical and assure me that, as long as the surgical team clear me for activity, I’m good to go. Before entering an event like this, great effort is taken to ensure that, should the worst case scenario occur, all athletes are capable of managing the environment and the risks therein and that they are capable of navigating themselves out of difficult situations relying only on mountain rescue if the worst possible outcome where to present itself. Stringent background checks are carried out as well as full medical reports and, I’ve kept them abreast of the situation up until this point. Ultimately, the decision to take part is mine alone after I have demonstrated no physical impediment is present.
So, its down to the surgeon and off to the hospital I trot!
‘Ah Mr Pain, how are you feeling?’
‘Well, sore. And I need your medical opinion and advice. Firstly, can you tell me about the healing of the broken bone?’
“The bone is clinically healed although not fully healed in an absolute sense.’
‘Ok, lets come back to that. Can you take a look at the other knee?’
‘Oh for God’s sake Mr. Pain.’
And so the conversation continued. I’m surprised the surgeon didn’t have a migraine by the end of our meeting being that he rolled his eyes so much and so hard!
The upshot was that he felt that from a medical perspective, under normal circumstances, they’d certainly recommend against running insane distances but, as far as the broken bone was concerned, it shouldn’t be an issue. He did add, ‘I’d be quite happy if it breaks because then I could put a plate in it which is what you wouldn’t let me do in the first place so, break a leg!’ WHUT? Erm, Ok!
The left knee was particularly effused with fluid but he decided that the aspiration of this fluid would be pointless being that I was about to run hundreds of miles on it. In his opinion, the biggest obstacle would be how much pain it presented with and whether I’d cause issues for myself with this altered gait (2nd album due to drop soon).
Back to the coaching team who felt that the surgeon had been the last obstacle for me being that we had covered all parameters of ‘fitness’ necessary for such an undertaking.
Finally, my wife. I explained all the above to her an, although she was naturally concerned when I added the scientifically sound rationale of , ‘Aaaaaaawwww coome ooon! I reeaaaaaallly waaaaaaanaa! Pleeeeeeaaaaassee??’ She understood and acquiesced.
I was ready to go…and go I did!

I was sitting in my kitchen drinking a cup of coffee and cleaning my camera . I was really down and the rain outside didn’t help. I had just turned 78. I had lost my wife last year after a short battle with cancer. I missed her terribly. We had been married for almost 60 years. Little did I know my life was going to change.
I was thinking about selling our home since the reason for buying such a big home was gone. It was large because my wife had several sewing machines and needed the room. It was a pre-manufactured home with about 2,000 square feet. Due to our snoring, I lived in one end of the home in a small bedroom and she had lived in the other end in the master bedroom. Around the walls were pictures of my wife that I had taken when we were younger. Almost all were her in the nude. She was a great model and very beautiful.
I was getting up to get another cup of coffee when the doorbell rang. I don’t get visitors and even my daughters didn’t visit very often. I opened the door and there stood a beautiful young woman. She was about 5′ 4″ with long dark hair. She was wearing a halter top and I could see she had, although small, great tits. It took me several seconds to recognize she was my new next door neighbor. She and her husband had just recently moved in.
She said I’m Jennifer your next door neighbor. I said good morning and asked her if she wanted a cup of coffee. She said that would be great and followed me into the kitchen. I noticed her looking at all the nude photos of my wife. When we sat down I told her those were pictures of my late wife. She asked if I was a photographer and I said not a professional one. I now take general pictures, usually of flowers and sunsets. We talked for a little while about various subject. She finally said the reason she came over was to see if she could use my phone. They were trying get a phone of their own installed. I handed her my cell phone. I went to get us more coffee as I heard her talking. I heard her say that was more than they could afford. As I came back I could see tears in her eyes. As I handed her a tissue she said they were having financial problems. She got up to go and thanked me for the coffee. As I walked her out she stopped to look at my wife’s pictures. Before I could stop my mouth I said I had a lot more in my side of the house. She smiled and said she would like to see them sometime. She walked out and I had a view of the beautiful tight ass. I thought to myself that her husband was very lucky.

The road seemed to stretch on endlessly before us, but Alexis assured me that our journey was near an end. We’d turn before long into thick woods and travel through narrow, winding roads until we reached her family’s cabin. I had no choice but to trust her as GPS had given out nearly 20 minutes ago.
“There’s good wifi and okay reception at the cabin,” she’d told me, “but you can’t get there unless you know the way.”
So here I was, driving alone in the middle of god knows where with a girl who was my student just a couple of weeks ago. Her and her four best friends had been together from first grade all the way through high school and now they had graduated with very different futures ahead of them. They had decided to kick off “the best summer ever” with a week long stay at Alexis’s family cabin. Alexis and I were heading up before everyone else, the four other girls and four guys.
