Yeah baby yeah! I had a terrific slow 45 minute run at lunch today. That’s 25 minutes further than the doc instructed me to do a week ago but I took Friday to Monday off and the ankle was feeling really good so I just kept going when it felt right to do so today.
It felt a little awkward but there was definitely no pain. It doesn’t hurt at all now and hasn’t swelled either. All good signs.
Yay!

Yeah. Thanks Richard and definitely worth mentioning. I was careful mostly because I was SCARED!

Wahoo! Glad to hear you are back in the game. I didn’t do any dog leaping in my marathon but I had serious knee pain in the ITB area afterwards. I’ve had to lay off on the mileage and I’ve been rowing to supplement. I recently ran 5.8 miles, the longest stretch since the big race. Very happy to be back on the road.
I was reading through the archives of your blog. It’s so cool that you saw Hollie. I read her blog as I was training for my marathon. She is inspiring (and funny and thoughtful and intelligent).
Great blog. I’ll try to stop by whenever I have some time.

Those are good signs! Make sure that your form stays good with the slower pace – not that you need me to remind you of that, I’m sure, but better safe than sorry. I know that my form goes to —- when I run too slowly.
