Pam: Good for you! I know you will do a fantastic job. Now, about the speed thing... Don't set the bar too low, but rather set it high! Start training now for your event and find ways to adjust and compensate. More importantly, work like heck! W...

Pam, I know it is months away, but good luck to you in the marathon. "I'm 'blind' and disabled, so I have a damn good excuse for being even slower now, don't I?" In my humble opinion, you don't need an excuse for anything! Run for you, for who you...

In April, I put in for the London Marathon ballot, and I should hear in the next week or two. But then I thought my second possible marathon will maybe fill up with other London rejects, before I could get in. So, stuff it, last night I signed up ...

Pam: You are not imagining anything! You ARE improving! Your comment about the balance thing made me reflect. I use my morning dressing ritual as a gauge to balance improvement just as you are doing. I'd do a one-legged yoga position as an exercis...

I have no doubt that you are seeing improvements. Time and working on problems everything and everyone see improvements.

I am not sure if I am imagining seeing improvements, or if they are real, and telling other people about them will stop them happening (paranoid? Me?)... I think I am seeing some improvements. My balance is definitely getting better. I insist on ...

I'll DEFINITELY be doing a marathon in April :-)

In April, I put in for the London Marathon ballot, and I should hear in the next week or two. But then I thought my second possible marathon will maybe fill up with other London rejects, before I could get in. So, stuff it, last night I signed up for the Brighton marathon. If I do get a London place, I'll decide then which one to go for. London normally lets you carry over your place, to run the next year instead. So then I'd run a marathon two years running. Gosh! (My mad husband is doing two I… Continue

Not sure if I'm imagining all this.

I am not sure if I am imagining seeing improvements, or if they are real, and telling other people about them will stop them happening (paranoid? Me?)...

I think I am seeing some improvements.
My balance is definitely getting better. I insist on standing up while I put my trousers and socks on. Daft, I know, but 6 months after the accident it was impossible, and I am still quite proud that I can do it (standing one-legged, dealing with my sock, without falling over). But I am d… Continue

Happy half-marathon runner

It was the Shakespeare Half Marathon yesterday. (I signed up for the full marathon, then jet-lag coming home from Oz, lots of colds, and a few weeks of frantic work (leaving me no time for running training), made me just go for the half.

I managed a few sub-11 minute miles, which were going fine, but then at about the 5 or 6 mile point my right foot (which has played me up for a while) started hurting. Amazingly, I noticed (for the first time, after many many painful runs) that if I pressed my… Continue

A 'blind', unbalanced marathon 'runner'.

Hello. I just found this site yesterday, and it's great to have other brain injury survivors (and their families) out there.
I fell off my bike (with a helmet on!) in France in 2005. I was Lear-Jetted back to the UK a week or so later, spent weeks in intensive care (in a coma), months in hospital, and 18 months off work. I am officially 'blind', although I can see fine to the left and ahead. I see nothing at all to the right of centre. Also, my right side doesn't work properly (my handwri… Continue
