Feeling like an athlete again

[chickenfeet]

In the last week or so running has got noticeably easier. I'm making a much better pace. My gait has improved from jogging to definitely running and I can push the pace quite a bit and even crank out a really accelerated finish. It's carrying over to the rugby pitch too. Considering that a year ago I wasn't sure if I would ever run again this is very good news indeed.

What happened to you, before?

This is good news. I'm going to have to work back up to running fitness. *sigh*

I have an avulsion fracture in my left ankle. A year ago I couldn't run more than a km or so without crippling pain and even a long walk was quite painful. For whatever reason it's "gone into remission" or whatever injuries of this kind do. The orthopod (a very good one with a sports medicine background) said it was inoperable and unlikely to either heal or get worse but it seems to have decided to behave itself.

I'm very glad to hear that :)

(that it's mending. Obviously.)
