Been wearing a boot on my right ankle since Saturday hoping my tendon issues will heal and that I caught them earlier than last year. Timing coincided with a business trip to Wichita - so didn't have to worry about taking running gear along. I was a bit worried Monday night and Tuesday because my left calf was rock hard - I've heard horror stories about blood clots from flying. Tuesday night I walked for about 30 minutes after work and then after dinner did 45 minutes on the stationary bike at the hotel gym and then did some quad and hamstring weight training. Wednesday morning the leg was back to normal - so the movement must have cleared out the edema (or whatever it was). Tonight I ran 3 miles and then took the dog for a 1 mile cooldown jog. Going to ice the ankle and then back in the boot. I'm hoping that if I wear the boot while I am walking around during the day that I can keep up my training and still have the ankle heal.
