On a cross country run, people were queueing to get over a fence, using a slippery 45-degree board as a ramp. I was waiting for nobody. I sprinted straight up to the fence a few feet further along, shouted ''COME ON!'' and hurdled it at full pelt. Thankfully I cleared it, landed running, and carried on - executed the leap perfectly. I figured it'd raise a laugh if I fell, but still put a year's worth of strength into it. The fence was about the height of the length of a pallet, which is 1.2 metres. It was about ten years ago, before injuries from two big accidents slowed me down. Right now at work, in steelies, no warm-up, and attempting that would probably end up in a disciplinary hearing, for one thing. But I have a euro pallet here - on its side it's 800mm, about 2.6ft. And I've just lept over it with ease. |

We also have 1200x1000 pallets here, and I could do one if I had my trainers with me. But my steelies are elastic-sided slip-on desert boots, and no good for this at all.. |

You never know when you'll need your trainers. That's what I took from this post

Just go barefoot, mikey. Video the jump. This could get you unlimited Internet points

Next time I'm out on a run, I'll find something to leap. Where there's secure footwear, soft grass, and loose pants. Until then... |

Looking forward to it
