On average I’m running every second day now. Today was definitely better than my last run but the ankle is still not quite right. Oh well, at least running easy on this limited schedule seems to be allowing for some heeling + keep my sanity. The ankle seems to be a tad better each day but MAN, it is such slow progress. I guess it could be worse so I’m not gonna complain too much. Waaaaaahaaaaaaa! (was that too much?)

Anyway, I managed 40 minutes and pushed a bit harder in the last five minutes of today’s run. When I got back, a fellow from the gym asked if I had a hard run. I said, “Yeah, it felt hard to me but I don’t imagine it would have looked too hard to someone watching me!”.

I wonder if the reason he asked me that question was that I looked really tired?

Hmm. Heeling. Was that a typo or a really bad pun? Either way, I’m glad that things are working out for you. Progress is progress, after all. And I know its frustrating as all hell, but don’t push too hard. Yet.

Any run’s a good run, just be careful. I was at a party with dozens of runners last night, and the host was lamenting how he’s been sidelined with an injury for the last few weeks and I could tell he’s just going CRAZY. He was going on an on about how he knew he could do a few miles here and there, but that would push out the recovery time longer, etc. Oh, man, it was tough just listening to it! So, enjoy any run you can do, but just be careful!

Sounds like you are making good progress, Mark. I hate waiting for things to heal (lots of experience!). Just keep it up, bud.

And I do like the blue box idea. I had seen that somewhere before but didn’t know how to do it. FWIW, I haven’t gotten anything in a few days. Maybe they are taking the holidays off?

Will be 49 in may and have been thinking of taking up running. Sure could use a few tips.
