The story of my rehab

Welcome to my fitness rehab blog.  This is my first, ever, blog, so I hope it's ok.

A few years ago, 4 friends and I were out for a bike ride, and it came to a horrific end basically before it really got started.  We were hit by a car, and I was the most seriously injured.  This is the link to the news stories about it:  http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/topic.html?t=Person&q=Robert+Wein

I'm trying really hard, at damn near everything that I do, because everything is different (harder to do) now.  I am currently unable to run, a standing jump is a fantastic achievement like no other, and what was once known to me as punishment (a burpee) is now an incredible achievement so much so that I treat each and every one as a monumental achievement.

Today (January 21) I went to The Point for Fitness, and completed an hour of spin - happily - and completed 5 burpees.
