Two years I started at a CC-run in Göttingen. It took me less than 45min for the 10km. My best time. Some weeks later, no more running for me, because of not repairable feet muscle paralysis. The doctors tols me that I wouldn´t be able to run anymore, even cycling would be difficult. MY world fell apart, sport was everything for me.
But I made my way back on the bike, but I knew that I wasn´t be able anymore to win any races. All right, but I still became Vice-World-Champion over the 12h MTB distance. Running allright, and cycling was possible with a splint. Anyhow, but I was able to do some sports.
Suddelny this summer, me foot became better and I was able to run for some time, but because of the additional running my Achilis bowstring was inflamed. But after it was over, I started easy up again and it worked. I needed a goal and registered myself for the CC-run in Göttingen, and I wanted to run the 5km under 30min. Two weeks before the race, I made an exercise run over the distance and needed 28min. Last Saturday finally it was time for me. The first run of 3. It was fantastic, Up and down hill again. It felt awesome. I´m back again, I´m there, I´m alive again and ran the 5km in 35min and 42sec. I really enjoyed the moment. But I know, I´ve to take it very easy. Maybe I won´t be able to run a marathon, but anyhow. The most important thing is, never to loose your hope for something and stand up and fight.
