Cleared

Today, was a fun yet interesting day. It is crazy to see how quickly things can change. Woke up early this morning to get to the doctors on time, expecting to hit work hour traffic I got there traffic free and an hour early. Surprisingly was seen instantly and in and out with in 45 minutes with a clearance to practice again. Of course its a slow process, limited to short runs with super small poles. But it is still great to know that I can start up again. It has been horrible being sidelined while all my teammates are jumping and just passing me by. So it was a breath of fresh air, being given the green light. 
I haven't been able to do any type of vaulting for 2 months and in a day I was able to pick up a pole and jump again. It may not have been anything impressive, embarrassing at most, but it was still jumping. Went to one of the local JC's to go jump with a buddy. I have never been that amped and nervous at the same time. I can still remember that first plant when the pole just bent right in front of me and it felt great. It reminded me why I feel in love with this sport. Being air born and just feeling destressed. It was one of the first practices where it was just fun and nothing else really mattered. I was there just to enjoy myself. Even though I was stuck at a 2 left because of pole limitations. It didn't matter to me I was back on the runway carrying fiber glass and best of all JUMPING.
