How long is your commute?

How frequently do you do it?

Depends if i am in a trial or in Court.  If so however long it takes to get there - between 20 mins to 45 mins.  If not in Court however long it takes me to walk to the top of the house and my study.  Some mornings that takes longer than others as cat distractions occur.

Officially: at least 46 mins

(Mainly cos the hybrid work rulz, saying that i should be in the office more than once in a blue moon,  might apply if my commute is 45 mins or under)

It takes me about 40 seconds to the office at home across the garden but it takes me an hour and 40 when I go in to the Office office. That's on a good day when I don't miss a train, encounter a strike, get stuck in train traffic outside Waterloo, have to stand in a queue at Waterloo while the Drain line empties a bit, then there is the walk from Bank which has been fine except now I've busted my Achilles I am shuffling like a twot and I can't do it in any less than 20 mins so now it's 2 hours door to door and, on reflection, wtf am I doing? Ah well that's NY Resolutions sorted.

It is a tear of 3 weeks ago, and involved no movement at all for a while, which I ignored. 
This ankle has been rebuilt. I broke my Tibia at the bottom, a full inversion maleolus fracture and ruptured the anterior medial (I think) and lateral ligaments, had them reattached to a pin etc and this is fine except ever since then I have had plantar fascia pain and Achilles tendonitis in that ankle, and then I ran on it and was doing an 8 miler up a hill and leant forward and felt I had been shot by a sniper. I was 4 miles in so I had to get back and I think that really did a lot of stupid damage. I really do not want it back in a boot and operated on again.

Is w**king a sport? I may need a sedentary alternative to running and walking.

I had to run to catch the post office on Saturday and it was the first time in about 7 months running and not feeling the fear I was going to have to pull up.

I had to have a tendon transfer on mine so it's now held together with the bit that used to bend my big toe.

 

 

sorry. vomming now.  Soon you're going to tell us that your foreskin's been used to improve your lip pout.

aye Jello. I know that.  The pain in the AT is interesting because slow flex is fine. It is when it is under pressure and you are stepping off or on. For example, propulsion in a running gait, seeking to accelerate and put it under load.  OUCH.   Stepping down off a train and taking force of a foot or two's descent on one ankle. OUCH. Stuff in between gradually gets better.  Strange. You never know when you are going to be forcefully reminded of your new limit. It hurts like someone's hit you in the ankle with a turned garden spade or logsplitter.

Mine just has a reduced range of movement but otherwise it's pretty good.  What I find strange these days is that when I squat one heel lifts off the floor before the other because one ankle doesn't bend as far.

That sounds grim Mutters.  

My commute is about 10-15 mins walk (depending on how much of a rush I am in) or about 30 mins walk if I have to walk children to school on the way in. I go in every day unless going out to see clients.
