It's a year to the day that I ran that 12k out on the island of Waiheke.
And would you cocoa it? My leg does indeed appear healed after those painful Extracorporeal Shock Treatments!
Just as they promised, one month post treatments I was pain free and for the first time in a year it doesn't hurt to press on the bone. I am so excited 
Anyhow I am taking it easy but the Sport's Doctor has started me with some power walking training. I am looking at starting running again sometime around the end of February according to him. I went out on my first walk last week and couldn't quite get my head around the fact that it didn't hurt. I waited all the next day expecting something - but nada - nothing - pain free still! Second walk the same - leg felt strong and I am managing a comfortable 14:30 walking pace. Still no pain!
I haven't been able to do more than slowly shuffle around the house pain free for a year now! It just seems unbelievable.
Can I get a 'Woot woot'?

Zoomers - glad you came to the table. One of the reasons that I actually stayed more than momentarily on this site (ok - the running log and wonderful people also helped) was a beautiful little thread where the King that is Jake knight chastised you for the use of the word 'Woot'
Here it is...The 'Woot' thread
I liked you immediately, but it took me an hour or two to get my head around JK. I remember now thinking - 'Wow that Jake Knight is a bit of an A-hole'
And it took me a day of reading all his posts to fully understand his humor and by the end of that I adored him
