Picture taken on 2nd day of walking, 9 days after injury
Special Note:
I fractured my 12th thoracic vertebra and right scapula in bike accident on 1 Nov. After 3 months in a full-torso brace, I began training. I'm back to normal, working on speed and power. Thank you all for your encouraging words and prayers.
