After TOO MANY days of not exercising, I feel yucky!  

 18 weeks of a stress fracture.

 4 weeks in a boot.

Lots and lots of white, sticky athletic tape.

Going to see the doctor tomorrow to see if the 2 stress fractures are any closer to healing.

I'm going crazy......

Wow - what a great day!  I went to a new foot doctor who did an MRI.  The results came back that the fracture has healed and I can SLOWLY come back.  The tendon that supports my ankle is still very weak, so I have some physical therapy to help strengthen it.  He also gave me a small brace to wear while I work out.

 While we were talking on the phone, I took off the boot and put it in the back of my closet - hopefully never to see it again!

I went for a great bike ride today - it was definitely slow, but I was so happy to be moving and huffing and puffing that I didn't care! 

9.12 miles in 54:12 minutes

Then I went to the gym for a swim. 

30 laps in 21:53

I feel like this mental load has been lifted.  I still have a few weeks till I can run on it, but I am excited to be moving and the end is in sight.
