Yesterday's run with the RCMP and Halifax Integrated Police escorting me was hard to top. Until this morning when Halifax's own CBC Anchor man Tom Murphy showed up to run/interview with me. I let him know I wasn't fast so he took it easy on me. We had a great run and he asked fantastic questions and he was curious about not only my brain injury, but other kinds of brain injury.
The interview will be on our website as soon as it airs, or slightly after.
I just wanted to give Tom and his camera man a huge thanks. Thanks for taking the time to here my story and help us get the story out there for kids and adults to put on some helmets and protect your head. A brain injury changes you forever. It encompasses everything and changes your world and the world of those around you.
Put on a helmet!!
Today I rolled over on my ankle. I had to take a quick break in the bushes at the bottom of a big drop off. On my way down I rolled on the my left foot. Same one I keep rolling on. I new immediately it was not good. However I was not going to turn down an opportunity to run with Tom. They came all the way out to see me and help get the awareness going. So I ran a little more than 14kl (I forgot to start my Garmin in the beginning). I was a little over stimulated and still dealing with a sun burnt yet from yesterdays epic run in Halifax. So I grinned and bared it and put on a good face.
After running for a while after the news was gone. I new that if I continued I would seriously cause more damage. I still have to run tomorrow. So I called it a day.
My team manager Melissa was a rockstar today. Just amazing. This would not be happening without her.
Thanks Melissa.
