Positive Thinking
- The 3 painful areas in the ankle is now down to one.
- The stretching exercises of the injured ankle is now almost in line with the good ankle.
- The strengthening exercises of the injured ankle now matches that of the good ankle.
- The double footed bounce test is now pain free instead of very painful.
- The single footed bounce test is slightly painful instead of impossible due to pain.
Then today I managed 40 minutes of easy/steady running without any pain. I will limit my long runs to 7 miles of easy running for a few weeks and then take it up to 10 miles for my weekend long run for a few weeks after that. During this period I will not do any speed work or even hard tempo paced runs, I'm almost there now and a month of taking it easy/steady seems a small price to pay after the last three and half months.

Cheers Alan.
Trying to run slow is alot harder than I ever imagined, the temptation to speed up is unreal.
Good to hear that you're on your way back, Gary.
