I still can't run, but my back feels amazing. For the first time in about three months I feel like I have equal weight distribution on my heels, and I no longer feel like I am stooping over like some crocked ancient in a Dickens novel.

I feel physically great. I've been having regular ultra-sound and treatment from John at the Fitness Factory and the result is I got in the water for the first time in ages on Saturday down in Kernow.

It felt amazing. I love surfing. I only realised how much I'd missed it when I duck-dived under the first wave. I think I've managed to block it out quite well, I think the cider helped.

Anyway after this weekend the cider stops. I'm not going to commit myself to a set amount of time, but I did 4 months at the beginning of this year, so we shall see.

And besides who needs alcohol when you have Kate Bush. I'm going to spend tonight learning the dance from this video for this weekend.
