Not realtive to the photon of light that was emmitted from the hand of the clock that was at a fixed point. That photon of light would never catch up to you if you were traveling at the same speed as that photon... Hence the time back on the ground appears to stop.. according to the light from that clock..

As you slow back down from the speed of light the time back on the ground would appear to be speeding up as the difference between your speed and the constant speed of the light behind you increases.
