Back to Box Jumping

It’s been 284 days since I fell in the gym while doing box jumps and broke my elbow.

It’s taken me a long time to be ready, physically and emotionally, to jump again.

Today I did it.

That I did this on the same day I cycled 7 km to the gym and 7 km back home and also learned the basics of rope-climbing is kind of a miracle. 

I’ll feel all this tomorrow. 

I’m proud of myself, and grateful to my coach for her support and encouragement.
