He turned around, bent over for a brief second, and then broke out in a sprint toward the top of the driveway. Across the clip, which he set to the tune of his and Eric Zayne's 2019 song, "Sign," he wrote, "Today marks The day of 10 months recovery." Explaining the progress made, the "Mayor of Kingstown" star penned in the accompanying caption:

"First attempt at any of this activity (especially at steep grade) and was brought to tears of joy, hopefulness, and gratitude for all your support along with my family and friends..... I keep pushing for many reasons, but you are my fuel."

"As a nurse man, knowing your injuries, I really can't believe it's only 10 months and that's all you. Literally. It's how you've cared for your mind, your body and your soul. I get patients on my unit ALL the time who are your age and look older than my dad (74). You're truly incredible and should be so proud of the fact that you've invested in yourself so much."

Following the same route, a second fan gushed, "So proud of you. You truly are the hardest working and determined man. Every step, every breath. 10 months on your terms."

In a previous Instagram post dated November 7, the father-of-one shared that despite his commitment to diverse therapies, including "physical therapy, peptide injections, IV drips, stem cell, and exosomes treatments," and so on, he considered the resilience of his mind and unwavering determination as his most potent forms of therapy. As he noted:

"My greatest therapy has been my mind and the will to be here and push to recover and be better…. Be exceptional… I feel it's my duty to do so. Not to squander my life being spared, but to give back to my family, friends, and all of you whom have empowered me to endure. I thank you all. #loveandtitanium."

As reported by The Blast, another action that might have aided Jeremy Renner's recovery would be his return to the site of the life-altering wreck. In May, he shared an Instagram video set to Mariah Carey's 1993 hit tune, "Dreamlover," showing off a scenic drive that hinted at his spending time with family as part of his healing process.

The "Lake Tahoe / Home #family #lakeday" captioned footage garnered admiration from fans, with comments expressing excitement and describing the view as "majestic" and "awe-inspiring." 

One impressed Instagram user commented, "Gorgeous scenery, and I hope you're doing well. We love you. Be strong and stay safe. Have an amazing and adventurous weekend."
