Broken to Marathon: Adventures Crossing the Street in Bangkok

Before the accident, I was just a carefree backpacker weaving my way across Asia until my luck ran out when I got knocked down crossing the street in Bangkok. This memoir chronicles three years of my life in Thailand, from a broken leg to marathon running, accepting that change is inevitable, yet growth is optional.

Along the way, I endured a grueling rehab from a walker to crutches to a cane while perfecting my freestyle lap swimming. I reclaimed my teaching position and moved beyond the cane while battling a corrupt insurance company to cover a second surgery to remove the titanium plates—or choose to never run again!

After a second rehab and a few dozen Thai beauties, I progressed to jogging and then got seduced into a 21km half-marathon. The first attempt was cringeworthy, but if I dedicated myself to learning the biomechanics of efficient running, I could rise above my perceived limitations to run the distance. After an Indonesian jogging holiday to go snorkeling under the sea, I completed my transition from victim to warrior to be the hero who slays the dragon!
