“January 2017 marked the 10 year anniversary for me as a Craven SPORT services client! Bruce, Karen and I met through pure chance in 2007 when (lucky for me!) they happened to be standing close by when I fell in a wall climbing accident, sustaining serious injury. What happened next would change my life, form two incredible friendships and start an amazing journey to adventures I could have never thought possible. Following surgery and many hours of physiotherapy with Karen it became very clear to me that the human body is capable of so much if we just give it the right things that enable it to heal, recover and adapt. A commitment to discipline in those “right things” (like strength training, nutrition and REST) became my focus. The support from Karen led to my decision to start running and then Bruce began working with me on a training plan. We set out and accomplished one goal after another, running marathons, half marathons and even completing a solo run across the Grand Canyon. Those experiences have been challenging, fun and rewarding PATIENT SPOTLIGHT Hear What Our Patients Have To Say!
but achieving those goals is not why I train. Bruce asked me once, a very long time ago, “what are you training for?” Seems like a simple question, with an obvious answer of the next goal or the next race. After a long discussion I realized that I wasn’t training for any of those things. I focus and commit to complete every workout, interval session, strength session, every long
run and yes…even every rest day so that I can be active, healthy and stay running when I’m in my 80’s. Quality of life has an entirely new meaning to me since my accident. Maintaining that quality of life by staying fit, strong and healthy so that when I get up 40 years from now I can jump out of bed and go out for a run is what I’m training for. That is a hugely motivating goal for me every day. When I get up in the morning I don’t “have to go for a workout”, I “get to go for a workout” and that makes me a very lucky woman. I’m so grateful for the support and help along the way from Karen, Bruce and the entire CSS team that has allowed this life and these adventures to be possible – THANK YOU!” - JoeAnne H.
