I'm back baby!!!

 Well, not really. I crashed and burned three weeks ago and have been sitting it out since. After a week of doing nothing but sitting with my foot in an ice bucket, I broke out the excercise bike and started riding it for two hours a day. I also continued lifting at lunchtime every day, hoping to keep my fitness up.

So I went out today, expecting to go maybe a mile or so. My daughter rode her bike along side. My foot felt pretty good and I think the pedaling helped. I felt like I was going a lot slower than I was. I had to take it really easy around the corners -- I probably looked like I was running with a full diaper whenever I turned.

Anyway, I'm running again and none too soon. I've got a marathon to train for. Just have to remember not to overdo it too soon.

Welcome back! Being injured definitely makes you appreciate your health. One thing that I've been doing lately that seems to help my ankle is sleeping w/ a brace or wrap on it. It's surprising how much you can aggravate a tender ankle in your sleep.
