Thursday last week, I took the train and made my way to my workplace in the Sydney CBD for the first time since I got injured on 26 January. That meant 4.5 months away from the office and though I enjoy working from home, it did feel nice to see my colleagues in person and have a change of environment.

Over the weekend I also managed an easy bushwalk, i.e. one that was all on track and not too technical, which was 10km in distance. Though my walking speed was probably about half my pre-injury speed, it felt good to be back in the bush and walking. Thankfully I could still fit into my hiking boots, albeit the left one is somewhat snug because of my still swollen foot.

I have also started indoor climbing again. I can’t fit into my climbing shoes, so I climb in my pair of joggers. This means I can only attempt the easy climbs with big foot holds. But it’s ok, what’s important is I’m back out doing stuff again even if I can’t do it at the same level and intensity I used to.
