My missus is awesome
My missus is awesome
Last year the night we came back from our hols my missus broke her back and was in bed for a month in total agony, today she did a 5 km park run and came 160 out of 220 (considering it's her first go) I think it's incredible.
She's gone from bed ridden and unable to do anything for herself to being an athlete (well in my eyes anyway I couldn't do 1km)
She's my hero.

Well done her.
Re: My missus is awesome
Well done to your good lady. An impressive achievement. I can attest thst recpvery from a severe back injury can be a long and painful process. (A diagonal crack in one of my vertebrae berwen my shoulder blades when i was 18 that stll gives me pain at 51yrs old) your wifes success is a little miricle. More power to her.
All the best.

I have great admiration for those who don't let a tragedy swallow them; pure courage, and she's a true role model.
Glad to see she's leaving the pack behind in the 2nd photo. In a sense, she's doing that without having to run.

An inspiring story and a fantastic testament to her (and I suspect yours to in part) pride and tenacity. Well done!
Best wishes

Re: My missus is awesome
Yep I'm so proud of her, she's 58 and came in in 32mins and 26 seconds and was third in her age group, she achieved this from running round the garden every morning, started out just a few mins a day and went up to nearly an hour. My daughter was her inspiration (She's done 2 marathons) she's a very grittsy (or maybe stubborn) lady and never let's anything hold her back, when I met her she was deaf, never let that bother her, but when I suggested trying a hearing aid I will never forget the look on her face when I said can you hear me and she could.
My Pam is a tougher than tough old bird and the kindest and most thoughtful person anyone could wish to meet.

Re: My missus is awesome
What a fighter! Please pass along my congratulations. And tell her she's inspired me
I can barely run a 5k, and im able bodied. I haven't done a race since 2009. Seeing this has inspired me to get back into shape to compete again.
