How it all began




I started doing some little jogs last autumn because of a fall. It was my first "sports" injury of any lasting impact. I fell from a granny style electric bicycle while doing a wine tour in cote de Mont Ventoux. I tore a ligament in my hand and it has been incredibly slow to heal. Almost a year later and I cannot lift weights and I can't swim too hard without taping my pinky and ring finger together or I feel it for days after. I know what you are thinking.. and no I had barely started the circuit, at the time of the incident I had a fimble full of white wine in my system at best.
The jogging was the result of a limited selection of activities I could do to get in shape this year and some vague talk between my brother in law and I over the prospect of doing a crazy marathon in Bordeaux.
